Pengi's T Gauge Experiment

[EtchedPixels]

This is interesting stuff, but the only reason I would even give T a bat of an eyelid is to possibly add a short narrow gauge line onto my existing layout..... but there again, I can use Z for that.

A plausible idea could be a forced perspective mainline way up in the hills in the background (just a little loop) with trains hurtling between hiils or tunnels, perhaps?

I believe they experimented with that on Copenhagen Fields at the rear but T wasn't reliable enough at the time.

Thank you all for the kind comments about my garage layout.

The IDL Motors mentioned by rhysapthomas are interesting because they are linear motors.

The rolling stock are magnets made to look roughly like a loco and carriages.

The track doesn't have rails, but is a series of electrical coils etched on a thin PCB.

The controller switches the coils on and off in sequence to move the magnets.

I received one last Christmas

Best regards
