Well, since I started "this line of thinking" I guess it will end here.
Ed L. suggested a loop with both curved and straight turnouts to demonstarte
the compatibility issue. Sorry, that's only one test--turnouts also have to
deal with cars being backed through them, both directions--long cars and short
cars, talgo mounted couplers and body mounted couplers.
Tom, if you have managed this, hats off to you, I was mearly expressing my
opinion based on the lack of standards for all the different high rail and "toy
train" wheel flanges, tread width and gauging. There are so many parameters!!
My statement was not meant to be directed towards any person nor
manufacturer!!!
I hope this clears things up a litle.
S'incerely,
David Dewey
