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. Maurice Grimes Kingston, PA, USA D.L.&W. Bloomsburg branch milepost 150.

May want to consider such an addition to the cassettes so that the cars will stay on board. Make a rerailer part of each end of the cassette and the on line portion of the connection. Presume that power on the cassette is not an issue. Sure you don't want to leave room for 50' cars? The extra 3" in HO will allow for variety. Bill Uffelman |

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. Bill Uffelman -----Original Message-----
