Re:Broome Lake Short Line Embryo
After last night's efforts, it seemd like a good idea to get the trackbed finished - as far as Broome Loop Junction.
And good ol' Track Shack should be delivering some more track tomorrow. Thanks John

Re:Broome Lake Short Line Embryo
Looks good Don but what is the drop on that spiral i have a 2m radius patio that the track goes around up around 10" and the trains can struggle.
Oops just looked at the fence behind i guess about 5-6foot radius

Hi Steve
It's hovering at around 62", we (Dudley and I) tested it on a length train (length as in it will fit in to the fiddle yard in what's to be known as "Broome Heights") and a Bacchy Conso coped without any problem at all. I seem to remember in the dim (defilnitely for me) and distant past that the rise was around 1 in 30.

Re:Broome Lake Short Line Embryo
all sorts of trains run and tested, on the loop, no problems on any of them, if it can be done in real life on the Tehachapi Loop with one end passing over the other end, it can be done in Dons garden and with only one engine. What a site.

Re:Broome Lake Short Line Embryo
End to end, Phil, with a link so that engines can be turned, or trains can be run to and from the main terminus. I'll post a plan at some time - the other one didn't seem to work
