Check out my Allanton's Latest News page for photos of my piggyback trailer grabber for loading trailers onto the flat wagons.

Thanks to both you and Frank for your help. I had already suspected that the turnouts had a much greater resistance (seemed to be common sense, and experimentation proved it out), but I think I also had a fundamental flaw in my layout. My longest (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
