Ran into a little hiccup on the layout at FRV.
The turn in the track up to the Coal Ramp was too close & not allowing engines & cars to pass by the base of the turnout. I’ve barely even ever used the coal ramp since I rebuilt it, & it worked fine prior to screwing all the track down. With the inner loop & ramp screwed in place already, I ended up having to change the track configuration. Used a half section of track & cut one end at a slight angle. As shown in the photos, it has plenty of clearance now.
Time to solder to the power blocked wires to the track, screw it down, & it’ll all be back in operation...
(in photo #2 the track isn’t bent. It’s a panoramic view, & is very hard to get a shot at this angle.)
