(...) The switchback is on Matt Bates' Train Depot. The actual page is here: (URL) chance you will LDraw your monstrous steam loco, the 4-8-4 one? I love that thing, but have never seen the original. I suppose if yours is a model, mine would be a (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

I am trying to get all the particulars worked out for my train station and was wondering a couple of things. #1: On the two mainlines the GMLTC uses, is one designated freight and one passenger? I am curious, since I can't see how to (easily) get (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

Sorry about that message. I just wanted to see the layout, and accidently pressed "post". -Shiri (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | Reverse Loop using mindstorms
|

Hi All, Building away last night on a new train creation and something occured to me. Has anyone used mindstorms to control a dual reverse loop circuit? You would need to block three sections of track (for two reverse loops). Sensors could detect (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hi, all: I'm in the midst of a large bridge project myself. I'm adhering to the 2 plate slope / 1 plate rate-of-change guideline, but for other reasons. I'd add that you probably shouldn't climb sharply through turns - that just complicates the (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

The two plates per track length rule is best, however my kids and I have built (and kept) a pier set that changes one block (3 plates) per track section ... it requires a heavy loco or a fairly short train, but it does allow for a shorter bridge (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

Duh. I mean 2 plates not 2 studs, and 1 plate, not one stud. A stud is a measure of horizontal distance, not vertical (although technically they are convertable, no one ever speaks that way... OK, 2/5 of a stud and 4/5 of a stud for 1 plate and 2 (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

Consensus seems to be: - don't change elevation by more than 2 studs per track length - this avoids overtaxing the ability of the motors to climb - don't change the rate of change in elevation by more than 1 stud per track length - this avoids (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
