The Stealth 3's are really nice to work in except for the fact that the tire bank is positioned right above the rail and it's kinda tight in there.

Sorry i really like CTEC although I am not really a fan of Doppelmayr and the Doppelmayr lifts seem to be more uncofortable and not as smooth. These things have seemed to carry over to the new CTEC Doppelmayr lifts so I loved CTEC don't get me wrong it just seemed like ever since the buy out they are more like the Doppelmayr's that I don't really like.

I noticed on the Pony Express at Steamboat that the drive belts for the tyres are located on the outside of the bank, opposite the walkway. Is this true for all Stealths? It looks like it would be difficult to change worn belts that way.

Actaully, I remember Garaventa CTEC having an add showing their new Stealth 2 terminal in an old issue. So I looked into it today, and yes the tire bank is on the outside, however it looks easy to change the belts. There are metal platforms covering brake rail and you just lean over switch it. I wish I had a picture to show you though.

Are you referring to the compression rail, perhaps? Elsewhere on the forum and in the feature on the Omega grip you talk about the 'brake rail', but the only rail I see in the picture is the compression rail.
I ask about the belt location because Poma and Doppelmayr both have their belts on the inside of the tyre bank, where one can change out a worn or broken belt very easily. It looks like the CTEC version would have the tech climbing over the tyre bank and then fighting the comp rail in order to loosen and change a belt.
