Thanks Gary!
I've decided that I'm going fix the float in place and use the ol 0-5-0 switcher to move freight on and off it in between sessions. The two track float will be another scratch build as the three track Walther's float is not prototypical to what was used in the Kootenays. They did have three track floats, however the floats had three straight individual tracks, no frog point on the float. The transfer slip at Kaslo had three tracks on the slip. Changing freight to either track was done on land.
