Among the many topics in MR I have not come across one on building inclines.
If anyone knows of such an article in MR I would appreciate when and where.
I have built some and have gone from incline to flat by using a curve to get off the incline. Am rebuilding and would like to go from incline to flat in a straight line.
Comments appreciated. wjms
Not in MR, but Jack Burgess wrote a two-part article on how he modeled the logging incline that fed the Yosemite Valley RR in RMC perhaps ten or fifteen years ago. I don’t remember how well he described the physical construction of the incline, but it’s worth a look. Use the Index of Magazines link at the top of this page and search using Burgess or Yosemite or Incline.
Good Luck,
Tom
Edit: I already looked. Try the October and November 1987 issues of RMC.
