   A very good idea indeed. I like it very much. Thank you for sharing :) How is it doing with switchpoints?? and with bridges ramps? Do you observe corrosion of the surface of the rails due to eventual electric arcs? Interested by these answers and considering seriously to build one.

I tried running it through a couple of switchpoints last night. It had a little bit of trouble. I haven’t noticed any problems with ramps or bridges though, other than some slipping of the tyres. I think using older tyres that are a little more worn would fix that problem though, as they’d grip better.

I also haven’t noticed any corrosion on the rails, but I haven’t really run it that much.
