DGO Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Funnily enough I'm planning a rack railway in H0m, just for fun the main station has 10 rack turnouts, none are as complicated as the one in the video though LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodgson Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Haven't been there for half a century but the Snaefell line used to have a multi-jointed point giving access to the car sheds that moved running rails and the Fell rail. Sounds as though the system has changed though https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5070833 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted May 10, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 10, 2021 Was that the Mount Washington Cog Railway? I think they had their first accident after about 100 years when someone left a piece of switch wrong and the crew couldn't see it at dusk. Just checked. 8 killed and 72 injured in 1967.
