Hi all,
It’s been a while since I’ve been on but I’m starting another layout and I have a question on turnouts and grades. I’m going to roughly model the Carlyle Division here and was wondering on how this plan manages to have a spur, if that is correct term, going to the logging camp. I’ve marked where the turnouts are placed and the grade. Is this all going uphill? I didn’t think you wanted the turnouts with line all going uphill like this. I’ve always seen a branch line/spur going down grade from the mainline. I apologize if I’m using the wrong terminology so bear with me.
What do you think?
