I'm sorry, but I am not going to tell a guy ""Nice curves""..... It just ain't happening.....

Nice track re-alignment, Ralph… :slight_smile:


How about you tell a guy “He ain’t got no curves anymore”… skinny!
:wink:

Nice work Ralph.

Thanks again to Cale for lending me the Train-Li. It is really great. Bending the 1 foot sectional is slow going. I slid the rail and staggered the joints rather than cut the rails even. Still have to cut a couple rails to join it up. Here it is before I started.

Now after the Train-Li, a nice smoother curve.

Lost the sectional look there Ralph, vast improvement.More than likely will speed up the time table now

#124

Nice Ralph. Smooth with nice curves sounds like a girl I once knew.

#125

Big improvement. The trains will look better going around those curves…:wink:

#126

Yeah, Ralph… What Ken said… :slight_smile:

The trains will look better. But the biggest improvement is how it looks with no train. It just looked "goofy" before. But I had to work with what I had at the time ;) Ralph

Much better Ralph. It was worth the effort :smiley: And goofy, or not, you got trains running and that was the important part.

Hell Ralph, just as we were getting used to, 1 straight 1 curve too! :wink:

Marconi, You can't even count. It's one curve, two straights :lol: No wonder your clock tower has no clock :D Ralph

As with the others…huge improvement and looks great! Now you need tangents and super elevation

My brother come by and we got a little work done on the RR. Cleaned up the yard.

Finished up the curve.

Decided to redo this curve on the outside…again.

(http://www.lscdata.com/users/cabby/_forumfiles/TCHANGES032Med.jpg)

I relocated the main and passing siding. The plan is to put in a Depot to serve both the PVRR on the outside loop and the SVL on the inside line. Relocating the PVRR main and siding gives me enough room for the depot between the tracks.

Here is the finished job. Next up, the inner loop curve.
