| Mike, Nice work, a bit big don't you think? Anyway, I was actually writing about the curve straight-track corners. I set up curved-straight track corners once. I was trying to enlarge the radius to cut down on high speed derailing, but what I found (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

| Thank you, thank you, thank you! Building is great fun, but I have been all smiles reading what you have been saying! Yeah, I have a problem with the railing too.
