Hello MOONMAN: I have attached the file. I am currently using RR Track V4 that does not have the train simulator but I was thinking about upgrading to V5 so that I could run trains through the layout to check clearances etc. I was curious about tunnel clearance since most of my portals will be on curves.

Any thoughts on top mounted switch machines vs under the table either the DZ-1000 or Tortise for this layout? Obviously the under the table looks more realistic but I have read it is a ton more work and difficult to setup. I agree about switching the location of some switch motors. I didn't realize how to do that in the software until just now.

Any thoughts on cork vs foam roadbed? I have heard that the cork can dry out over time but I have never used either so I am open to both.

Thanks for the great comments.

Michael
