In my earlier topic, "Funicular Railways - Out of Curiosity", a reply stated that Angel's Flight still existed in Los Angeles just off I-5 between San Fenando Valley and West Los Angeles. That did not sound quite right, since I had just a few months or so back looked up info on the web about it. Well, here is a little more info on it.

The railway was relocated, but only a short distance from the original spot. In relocating it, there was extensive modifications made to the original design, although the original cars retained there names: Sinai and Olivet.

any ideas on how to make the task of installing grab irons easier? I have slightly enlarged the holes, i use a magnifier. Still, this job doesn't get any easier.

My wife says I don't listen but to prove her wrong I listened to your comments. I cleaned the slate and started over trying my best to take into account all of your advice. I went back and re-read my books and studied track plans from the paper magazine. The result is a much simpler, more build-able track plan that fulfills all of the G&D's. Does this look more like a realistic approach?

BTW I have it built in XTrackCAD also so I am sure the turnout angles and such are workable. As a matter of fact it utilizes mostly #10 turnouts. How sweet.

Attended the NEFFRPM this weekend, very nicely done for a great price which included an Italian lunch buffet.  If anyone is in the NJ area next October, they should really stop by!
