GER 12foot switch circa 1888

Postby Winander » Thu Jun 09, 2016 2:49 pm

I came across this when researching track, it is from the "Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers" vol XVIII Jan-Jun 1888 that has been digitised and can be found at https://archive.org/details/transactionsofamciven18amer

I know there are some modellers of the GER on here, and since it is from an obscure source, thought it may help.

Hi Richard,

As one of that GER contingent, it's much appreciated.

I'm still pondering how to model accurately the somewhat angular tracklaying from the 1890s period...

Cheers
