Fun on the Allegheny B&O template Options

[AT RR]

Norman,
I just wanted to say thank you again for a great template. I just finished your Buttler to Branchton Turn. With 25 cars and I had work at all the towns, the template took just over 7hrs. I found that the 2 BLE SW1500s had enough horse power to work the route. Before you ask NO I did not do the 7hrs in one sitting.
The only area to watch that is not related to the template is the turn out points at the Branchton "Y" have sticking points and once you push your train through the switch you have to clear the switch before you change direction.

Thanks for writing. I am glad to receive feed back that all is working well!

Regarding the points at Branchton, unfortunately each route has something like this, and these sort of things make it difficult to design a template, as you can imagine. It is something that most of us have learned to work around in the MSTS world. Thanks for the heads up!
