[Accrs-ho] Track Elevations

[ACCRS HO Scale]

 Tony you are correct about the problem being grades curves and including transitions because this is the exact explanation why I can't run my passenger trains and heavy weights baggage cars on the layout as they are too long to negotiate 

these layout defects against me and my equipment besides it being the same problems for other club members.    I am hoping that the club will have to relocate to another building and rebuild a layout from scratch and build the main line 

correctly for needing minimum 36 degree radius' on long equipment like mine and to mention those auto racks and flat cars you speak of.  I vote to already consider where to relocate and rebuild some where else that where the club currently
is.  Gary B

I noticed several 89’ Autoracks and 85’ passengers uncoupling events yesterday – I saw this happen while running 3 DD40X running together back in 2019.  IIRC,  it was going around Jamestown.   The problem to me is part track work specific to 80+ foot cars or engines.

The suspect areas are grades, curves and transitions.
