Did final check of clearances on the entrance to the trestle before doing surgery on the layout for the final connection to the up ramp.
Used my S1 since that's the engine I have with the biggest overhang. Moved track 3 a little to the left to give more clearance going past the trestle.
Checking clearance on track 4 with a 20 inch passenger cars.
Checking clearance on track 1 leading into the trestle support. Clearance past the abutment on the other end of the bridge was not a problem. Ted also checked the trestle support clearance with his EM1 earlier in the week and didn't have a problem. Looks like the drawing was accurate enough to span the three curved tracks. Clears the way to start surgery for the up ramp lead-in.
Shouldn't have any clearance problems on the 105 and 096 curves with long cars on track 1.
Switching from track 3 to track 1. Didn't have a problem going thru the two crossovers with the S1.
Goin' around the roundhouse.
Did run into one snag. Doing surgery cutting into the layout surface for the up ramp, ran into a horizontal support underneath. Didn't have the right equipment and called it day.
