Hi Ed,
I really like your mock ups of Munson’s Chocolates, especially the one with the vertical tanks, so I am voting for design number 1. It might change if we get to see your mock-ups of design #2, but I kind of doubt it as I have seen enough unimpressive team tracks to turn me off of them. I keep going back to your pictures to study them and there is something about your design and execution that just looks right. I can really visualize what you are trying to accomplish and it looks great to my eye.
If uncoupling becomes problematic with an industry between you and the train, have you considered Kadee’s electro-magnetics? Although pricy, my experimenting with them on a test track has been very successful with whisker couplers, enough so that I am confident in planning to bury five of them inside of a building on my TastyBake ISL. I paid $13.60 for the #309’s and you would need a way to power and control them.
I can’t wait to see more pictures.
