I was wondering what did the blue electric track look like? Especially what did the points look like, what was the switch like, was it just the same as the grey points but just different colours, or was it a different design? Thanks, David (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

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)

There is a better method for connecting multiple monorail cars together. It require the ball and socket joints. I was able to get one to work and only sacrifice on "extra" stud from the female car and none from the male. James' system eats too much (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
