I am interested in hearing from others who have built transversers.
My layout will rely on a three track transverser for staging. I have
read the article in MRP and Ian Rice's Kalmbach book (can't remember
the name right now (small, smart and ...?)). Jack Trollope has
graciously related to me some of his experience and even provided
some parts but more information is always welcome. I'd like to make
it so that the tracks are on a cartridge so I can swap cartridges to
get new cars on the layout and increase operation potential. Perhaps
I will also have a second module which will interchange with the
first by way of the cartridges. My layout is only nine inches deep,
and the transverser will have the same handicap. This is because I am
building it inside a bookcase. The layout is "L"-shaped, 72 inches
long with a 39 inch leg. 19 of the 39 inches are for the transverser.
This will allow me 3 forty foot cars per track, which is the size
trains I wish to run. Input appreciated.
Have fun, be nice and stay safe.
