Re: (erielack) The "ah-ha!" moment
Thanks Paul. In my N scale world I take careful planning to make sure any
"S" curve has a piece of straight track between it that is at least as long

understanding the prototype railroads do the same thing whenever possible.
Maybe even more so now than during the EL era.
