My own portable "lawn track" is about 500 ft long. With two "semi-automatic" switches, I can run the entire track twice without passing the same spot twice in the same direction.

The steepest grade is 8%, so the engine really has to work!

The video is annotated, so if you have annotations witched off, you might consider enabling them.

A drawing of the track plan can be seen here:

  • Cool. It's not a Möbius Loop though or the train would be running upside down throughout parts of the track since the track would have no top or bottom.

  • You are, of course correct. However, the automatic switches allow you to run two circuits of the track without passing the same sections twice in the same direction - so it's "kind'a" like a Moebius loop, right? ;-)
