    Curve Question:

    Just to give you an idea, here's a few pictures of teh space now. Notice the dust on the tracks. If she doesn't use it for two weeks, you have to clean the whole track. What happens is it ends up not being used. This hasn't be used for about a year now.

    Curve Question:

    That change to the ramp sounds good. Taking a measurement of the trains width, at 1 1/2" why not have a yard that I can park more trains? It's a bit of a hassle to use the finger crane to add and remove. Is there a way to add more lay-ups? Tighter switches maybe? I have the pre-made...

    I'll be at the Edison NJ show tomorrow. Hopefully to pick up needed track to build my layout. I posted a few questions in a new thread, "CURVE QUESTION" in hopes of figuring out what track I'll need. I'm sure they had a bad day today, maybe some good deals there tomorrow.
