Hello again,
I take superelevation to mean an incline across the width of the track as it
goes round a corner, irrespective of the vertical profile. Will your long
batton be curved, or are we talking at cross purposes please?
You originally mentioned a slope of 4 degrees. If this is across the track,
how many inches of fall is that for a 5" guage though? Would steel washers
do?
Tony.
