This super picture appeared in my paper today. Its just a straight-through piece of line and wouldn't make a good layout, but its worth looking at.View attachment 122852
I thought of that but concluded that a crossing nearer the loch would seem to cover more low ground.\ said:Begs the question why they put such a curve there when they could have gone practically straight nearer the loch.
Anyway, when you gonna build one for us Steve?
Not before I just now searched for it. Interesting. However, my favourite loopy railway is Namtu, Burma, where I was born. It was a silver and lead mine in the mountainous jungle of the Northern Shan State. My grandfather there was a mining engineer and my father an electrical engineer, between them from 1920 to 1942 when the Japanese invaded Burma (my father had to escape by walking from Burma to India, quite a walk!) Actually, the mine was (still is) at Bawdwin, the smelter at Namtu and the hydroelectric plant at Mansam Falls.\ said:Are any of you familiar with the Tehachapi Loop in the US?
