Hello friends.
I did the math today and made templates for all of the curves. As much as I tried to avoid it I will have one curve that is only 24 inch radius. I will have 3 other tracks around the same curve so if I have to restrict some equipment I can run it on the other tracks around the curve.
I'm cutting my own roadbed too, just to do it. I'm using 1/4 in luan plywood. I have used this before with great results, it just takes a little time to cut, and I do have time.
It is hot here, but the train shed stays cool almost all day if I get the doors open early in the morning and draw in what cool air there is.
A good friend stopped by today and donated a huge wooden trestle for my canyon. It will fit right in, I'm tickled to have it. That will be the first sceniced area on the pike.
Thanks for taking the time to follow along. I even sent a visitor from our White dog lovers yahoo group here to check it out.
