ISL 2016 - Thinking out loud

[SSWUPinSA]

The blue one probably won't be an issue but that one to the far left will be so flimsy it won't stop a locomotive from tipping off the layout (I assume that's what you meant by protecting it) you're probably better off gluing a couple shipping containers down not double stacked to make uncoupling and/or throwing your switch easier

Thanks Rscott417, will keep that in mind.

I scratch build all my structures form Styrene, same as the containers that one buys, so happy that I can get it as strong as I need it and glue it in place. As for uncoupling the loco coupler that needs to be accessed, it will be within view or reach at all times and looking through my operations rehearsals I would only ever have the loco going behind there on its own or with cars attached that wont need uncoupling . Even if I do though for some odd reason, I had the same situation in my last layout behind the industry on the front and didn't find it to be an issue at all.
