Well I still can't decide what to do with the blank baseboard, it's a nice long fiddle yard at the minute that everyone can see.

 

I created this to see how well it works, on an end to end layout and the answer is very well.

You can slow the engines right down and have them creep up and hit the end platform under the station canopy which basically gives you a zero point to work from.

Not ideal but a good work around as the feedback detectors are not yet available.

Also when you run up very slowly it's not too bad, at the far left I will fit buffers and that will be hidden from view so who's to know!

The only issue I have at the minute for reliability is the Kadee couplers on the wagon not quite lining up.

Need to experiment and get a few different packs with the overset type arm so it lowers the knuckle.

 

Still it does work, sorry for me jumping about all over the place, a slight movement causes a massive jump!!

 

Cheers
