Bill,
Is this story in the SLD-sig library? Yes, I agree, some type of
gate is a must for both ends. Rerailers are a good idea, wonder if
they are available for code 83? I'm using Walthers turnouts and Atlas
flex track(which don't match by the way). Just checked my right track
software, they have them. Getting power to the cassette is an issue,
since I will move locomotives on and off with them. Sure, I would
love to leave room for 50' cars, I just don't have it. I am stuck
with 15" radius curves, #4 turnouts and short sidings. But it beats
no layout at all! Thanks for the reply.

The extra 3" in HO will allow for variety.

Maurice,

I think Bill was referring to John Wright's Federal Street layout:


If you haven't seen these pages yet, check them out. Federal Street
is a superb Proto87 layout.

The train turntable is at:


I'm planning on building something similar for my PM&TCo.

I saw it in the last week as a reference in a note on either this list or
the LDSIG list. It basically has two bail type handles that drop over the
ends to retain cars. May have been the LDSIG in a discussion about door
way bridges.. I'l lsee if I can find it.
