Hello, I’m a newbee. What is a shuttle? how do you use it.
Steve;
I don’t know what context the word “Shuttle” was used in; but it could be described as a form of transport that “Shuttles” back and forth over a short route; somewhat like a street car, or the rail vehicle at Tampa Aerodrome, from one part of the complex to another.
Some GR people use street cars or Eggliners, in a constant back and forth action on a long length of track. They could be described as a “Shuttle”.
By the way; a while back I tried to “Hatch” a half dozen “Eggliners”, without much success…has anyone else tried it lately ? …!!!
Sorry, shuttles is used by LGB to describe some track. the eggliner must be it
LGB has (or had) an automatic shuttle device with a timer that lets you “shuttle” a streetcar, loco or other track powered device back-and-forth, as you desire.
Mebbe that’s it.

I am using an Aristocraft #11090 Reversing Unit System to run my Tramway (Streetcar or Trolley), the car shuttles from Terminus to Terminus automatically, creates some movement when the main railway is doing something else.
Thanks for the information, I now understand
