Label: A turn in time?
Just one more gotcha' to share. I am currently working on
laying track on the module. I did some preliminary work with grade crossings as
already mentioned. Next came turnout planning. All well and good. I did the
layout. Checked my work. Then asked myself, “If the train can cross over to
this siding, how does it get back on the track it came from?” No answer except,
“It doesn't!” After rechecking, guess what? The planning engineer (me) had
skipped a set of crossovers. Wow! This won't do. To compound the problem, a
crossover to a parallel track that extends alongside both ways actually needs
two turnouts. Boy is my face red. See what happens when you get in a hurry.
Glad I caught this in time. Until next
week, omscaler
