Please bear with me....I am in the process of building my first layout. Using 0-Gauge Flexible Gargraves with Ross Switches. I am struggling with understanding the difference between these Gargraves "Operating Tracks".
#107 Phantom Tinplate Remote Control Magnetic Uncoupling Section
#108 Phantom Tinplate Remote Control Magnetic UC / UL for operating cars
#108EM Same as #108 but with the magnet on the end
#111 Phantom Tinplate Terminal / Accessory Control Section
#117 Phantom Tinplate (compact version) Remote Control Magnetic Uncoupling Section
1. What does #111 actually control?
2. Why would I want #108EM that has the magnet on the end?
3. If @#117 is magnetic.... can you also use it for a Lionel operating car, like the X3464 Operating Box Car that has a man that pops out of the door when the magnetic plunger is above the operating track? Or is this track section for Uncoupling only?
4. Completely unrelated.... but can anyone tell me how to create a grade crossing with the Gargraves track? Does Gargraves produce a grade crossing?
Thanks, mwalz
