Yes, this is a lovely little route. Thank you for sharing it.

I've taken the liberty of turning it into a "model" layout, as it seemed on the way to that anyway.

And I've added a "removable" bridge to create a full loop.

Lots of fun to be had with this one. Thanks again.

Cheers,
Piere.

Nicely detailed route!

I was running it this morning and noticed that at Junction 1136 the train actually goes in the opposite direction of the switch setting.
I have not noticed this anywhere else.

Hello

Thank you all. Good to read that everybody like it.

@ Piere. Nice done

@ wmm1216, Maybe replace the lever? Or the whole switch?

The reason that is happening is because the spline point is too far away from where the tracks actually diverge and the tracks going left, actually go slightly right first (although you can't actually see it).

The easiest fix is to move the spline point closer to the actual turnout. Alternatively, if you straighten the section of track which is the siding, I think that should fix it too.

Cheers,
Piere.

Sounds good to me but I am just a user and not a developer so I hope the author knows how to do that and I will await a update.

Thanks!
