GBC exibitions query.

[doug72]

Which way round do linking moduels run at GBC exibition layouts  i.e Clockwise or anti clockwise ?

Need this to ensure a 90 Deg corner turn  module I am building is in the correct direction.

[Berthil]

Always anti clockwise, left to right viewing as visitor, right to left as exhibitor behind the modules.

Yes, usually anti clockwise as seen from above.
But if you're building a dedicated corner module, it could be interesting for it to be able to do both sides...

[doug72]

So is this is correct ?

Not possible to do both sides at the same time.
To make a right turn it would require the train reverser to be modyfied to release the train cart t to the right, I did make RH version some time ago.

The GBC standard is input on the left and output on the right.  It is only important if you want your module to function with other people's modules at shows and events.  If you're doing your own thing, then it is whatever you chose.

It looks ok assuming your "In Box 2" is really the Out Box.

Inbox 2 would actually be part of the next module, into which the Self unloading Train Car empties its balls into.

 For my set up the balls just roll down into collection box and are returned to in box1 by hand and as the train car returns to the lift it starts the next lift cycle to load next batch of balls.

Yes, looks right!
...and I now get why you can't have both sides easily available with that setup
