The video could probably be better but we learned how to use i-movie as well in a hurry today to be able to get it into you tube. Shows off the two DCC locos.
Lots of lessons learned today in getting here. I was already aware from the rolling carriage on the photo shoot that the patio slopes. Quote tonight from Ann - the rainwater runs off it rather than collecting - so the slope is deliberate. Problem is that the engines don't like radius 1 curves on slopes, and in this configuration I had an S bend followed by the uphill, to the engines struggled. So, some layout re-design on that basis.
This was done with lapping passing loops - a track design that I learned off the web last night. From a safety viewpoint then I think it will be a move to put the sidings etc on the other side of the patio and only have a single line in front of the step to walk over.
Hmm, the photo uploader seems to be taking it's time tonight, so I'll stick with the video for now.
