ScoutingDad……thank you for your reply. I too only planned to use the pullout drawer idea for emergencies. I just felt it would be easier to spend some time engineering the pull out the drawer than crawling under as I get older.
Mark Boyce…..nice to hear that you are using a 4% as I will be very close to that. My descending curve for this portion will be O72 so that should help me out. I too will be moving the consists slow as I plan my lower level to be mostly freight storage.
