Thanks gents. Further testing with spine & container rolling stock required ripping out & relaying ..^%$#%^.. troubled 'bad grade curve' last night. PaulE
Cut them 85 footers in half and install articulating hinges !!! :nerd: .........I was lucky, the railroad I was modeling was a single commodity carrier and I didn't have such headaches to plague my operations. A little track realignment is good for the old blood pressure:thinking: I hope you hadn't ballasted it yet. I am really liking the progress that you have made on this........it's now light years ahead of when it was all stacked up in your garage. Trains running by Christmas and your Birthday would be a "treat"........one step back, two forward.

That's shaping up nice Paul.......you'll have traffic through there soon I expect....as a point of interest, assuming that the lower tunnel is for traffic on the right 'o way, might I suggest a small bridge "catty corner" so that vehicular traffic might continue on without falling off the edge.:thinking:....just a thought. Rick H.
Trying to figure out south tunnel exit on the South 4th curve/straight before ballasting it. Lower access road was a spermodamomentthang so not well thought out. You might notice a portion of the four'n'ahaf foot bridge complex that was going to bridge the cut or hold the fourth curve/straight, but couldn't work out the supports, so back in the box it goes.

Starting to work east tunnel portal positioning. The first shot shows the wheel flange lubricator as well.
A couple shots of the bridge complex. Remember, I shortened the plan by 7' so this was a better fit to that plan. A whole farm was eliminated as well.
