@Dave Ripp. posted:Sorry Dave that was for the original poster not you. Your designs and the free time you put in still amaze me. I just see so many folks that think they have to have a turntable and a million sidings. Sometimes people need to accept your space limitations. Just an opinion.
Too many Dave’s in this thread. 🤣🤣🤣
Anyway, I didn’t think you were directing that at me, just felt compelled to comment. It may not be right, but given the space, I’d design most of the layout, including the TT/RH for the smaller engines. I might try to configure things so a large engine could cross the TT for maintenance, but not be turned. I’d use a 27” TT and a smaller version of the Altoona RH.
I get a headache talking about TTs and RHs because the configurations are all different. Korber’s can go closer to the TT because the angles are so wide. Altoona’s have to be further away so engines will clear the doors with the tighter angles. However, they have more stalks in a given width. They make a 50” version where the back wall is 55” from the center of the TT. They also make a 60” version that is 60” from the center. Both can have the back wall of each stall extended 3” while the 60” can also have the front wall extended 3”.
