With this design, and the 6 meters of track limitation, I'd probably throw in a Type 12d, which would just be a resupply system for the track sections. Something with a simple mechanism to match the loader on the 12c, and carries a lot more track, just to reduce the inefficiencies of having the 12c go back for more track. Just a couple more items, since it's using sectional trackage, how do you envision points and sidings being handled? A more specialized 'bot or teleoperated system? ======================================================== -Coyt "The Internet, billions of electrons with nothing better to do." _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
