Thanks for the tutorial.
Interestingly, all the things that make it easier will be here ...
raised track, 215 rail ...
I've just about finished the engineering on the raised part of the
track -- modifying ideas from Kevin O'Connor, Mike Martin, Tony
Dixon, even Gary Broeder -- and hope to get started on the steamup
bay in the next few weeks. Still hard at work converting a corner of
the garage into a workshop.
Again, thanks.
