Hey Chris, very well done! And congrats on listening to your young conductors. I have three grandsons and they like the Polar Express passenger cars... SO... Santa found a way to make sure they are on the floor layout under the tree. Not my first choice for a passenger set, but it is theirs, so it warms my heart just the same.

QUESTION: I set up a trestle last season..... and had a slow long climb to the elevated height, 6 inches (to clear tallest locomotive)...... exited on a spiral back down to carpet level....... Thought was to build a backdrop and trestle for the "FUN" part of the layout. tested the climb and spiral with my postwar GG1. Bad idea..... terrible crash as the temporary trestle tipped and the crane service had to be called to the scene of the wreck. (Luckily, soft carpet landing....)

HOW do you keep the train on the elevated? auto slow speed? no shifting loads?



thanks, and nice work Chris
