Struggling with this one a bit....its for my 'alpine' section.

Does anyone have any ideas that could improve on this? Obviously the problem is that there are no points at this tight radius...

Hi Michael

Seems that you are very close to a solution these track accept some adjustments. I belive one thing is going to create problems: the two 5120 as curve-counter curve.
It is best to have a straight rail between the two to avoid coupler jamming especially when locos are in reverse (pushing the train)
Also make sure that the 5120 are on the same plan. Failure to do this caused me derailments
Cheers

Hi Jean,

Taking your advice it is much better! I will only be using 3000/3001 and two axle rolling stock on this line.

Now to see if it will fit on the layout,

Thanks

Michael,
IMO it is much better looking now and probably much safer for operation
