There's a prototype for everything, even a H0 4x8 loop...

If you want to see a “Before” photo, go to Google Earth…that track wasn’t built when Google Earth snapped their photo of the diamond.

There is a brand new loop like that being built for a concrete company northwest of Houston in Hockley. It’s only about a mile from the Houston Area Live Steamers. It’s not as large as that one though. It still doesn’t show up in any satellite photos.

I don’t think they did a very good job disguising that pop up access hatch in the middle. But good effort!

If you go to 39 degrees 08’53.94"N 119 degrees 46’06.82"W on Google Earth you will see a prototype of a loop you could fit in HO on a 4X8.

Here’s one for you.

It’s in Vancouver, BC

Not a 4x8 loop, but a reverse loop

I seem to recall the FRA has a loop near Pueblo that they use to test equipment on. I don’t remember where I saw this though.

Nice annoying popup from clicking this link… that is warning of infection and asking to download and install an application to clean the infection…the popup is probably the virus if anything is. [}:)]

Kevin,

Maybe you need to scan your system. I’ve looked at that link several times today without a single popup…

I had a pop-up on another forum upon log-in…wouldn’t proceed past the click once I applied my password, but up popped this invitation to “pimp my profile”. I did a scan, found nothing. I also cleaned off the hard drive using CCleaner, and it went away. Maybe try cleaning all the temps, Kevin.

My system is clean. I have re-booted since seeing the popup and now it appreas to be gone. That’s computers for ya! My bad.

Thanks guys. [:)]

If you look on the bottom of the first picture, there is a half circle with what appears to be lines, going from the circle, to the (pipe??) near the middle. That’s the power pack…

Hmmm…looks like my signature line is my comment here. The IRT has loops at the southern end of two of it’s Manhattan lines.

If you ever happen to fly out of the Colorado Springs airport from anywhere south, you will fly right past the FRA facility.
