With this post in mind, last night I was looking at my layout. I have so many sidings with turnouts on curves that super-elevating would have been possible in only two curves on my entire layout.
So you can't pull long trains of 10 cars or more and you can't run much other than a steam switcher or a small diesel ?? : )
Shut-the-f........front door!!! You're right. LOL!!! Looks like I'll be pulling the freight cars around by hand.

LOL me TOOOOOOOOOO .. Even though my UN-SUPERELEVATED track allows me to pull as many as the engine will pull including multiple lash ups. and I can run any of the 4 engines I have full throttle and although it scares me to do it they stay on the track!
