I have been readng my new logging book and it seems there were a lot of RR's that used wooden rails. I thought it was intresting and now its got me thinking. I have good spot on my layout were i plan on experimenting with this. Its going to be an out and back. Point A is going to start along the main line. Here the train can unload from the wooden spur to the main line. The engine is going to be batterie powered (obviously LOL)
I have a few batteried powered toys that might work. One I have in mind is from a thomas the engine set. It has a forward and reverse switch on the bottom. This will allow me to have it go back and forth on its own. All I need to do is have a something on the tack that hits the forward/reverse switch.
Has anyone experimented with this. I know its not the most practical but for a simple display i though it will look good especially on my backwoods line. I will post on my progress as I start preping for this project. Any ideas would be great.
