Sparky74 posted:I can't remember which magazine it was in the past 2 yrs but there was an article on this. Once the max distance of the boiler swing was known a tool was made. If I remember correctly it was basically a truck from a train car with a small flat piece of wood with a hole drilled in it. In this hole was a pencil to mark the top of the layout. I'm google searching like crazy for it but maybe I can find which magazine it's in here at home.
Keep in mind as well that if you have 2 curved sections running parallel to take into account a long passenger car on the outside track passing an articulated locomotive on the inside track.
A tool like that would be perfect. Please let me know if you find the article. Thank you!!
