I'm working on the design of a new Tinplate layout. I want to include a monorail but have a few questions about how to implement the track plan, like....
-can you cut a straight rail to make the total loop shorter? Hoping I can adjust a bit on the total loop length. Planning for the monorail to clear some big items (station, powerplant, hellgate bridge)
-is the hanger threaded into the base? I saw a few off-the-ceiling hangers and I'm guessing it's more than just a press fit?
-can the hanger be extended easily?
- could I make a smaller base if needed for a few tight spots if I screw them down to make 'em more sturdy?
-is the width of the monorail plus motor/weight evenly divided from the center rail, or is it offset to one side?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated! Track plan set...table built...hoping for a Christmas debut!
Thanks, Ed
