Thanks to the three of you sending PRR photos. I did get my own "Horseshoe Curve" up in the living room this afternoon. The south end is an O72 half circle, then goes north into an "S" curve which has been throwing the 0-4-0 into the love seat. (Sharpest curves on the layout.) I have to fiddle with things as I thought I had it going as slow as it could go. The north half circle is O42 and leads to the back of the love seat. I have a couple more straights I can insert on both straight sections but at my age (83) I need to rest a little. I had enough odds and ends of track so that all the angles worked out. All I need to do now is get a few more connectors so I can lift things up for the cleaning lady when she vacuums. I'll try to get some photos up soon of my seven car Broadway Ltd and see if the 675 can haul them all. I picked up a ZW in the box not too long ago and haven't tested it as yet. I'm using a 1033 right now. I also need to get the 2-4-2 with the Ives cars which replicates my first set out and "play" with it, too.
