Hi everyone! I recently completed powering the frogs to 16 of my turnouts (Atlas C55) - but the frogs only seem to be powered when the turnouts...
I've been remiss again in providing updates. In April I carefully dusted off all of the buildings. Since then I've been gradually installing 14...
Well ... that hiatus took a bit longer than I anticipated. :sneaky: My son moved out this week, so after a 20 month break, I will be getting back...
Well, the steel mill property has no grades (it's all at 50 inches elevation), so that won't be a problem (the latest track plan is below). The...
Quick update, since it's been a while. Last month my son ran into some life events that forced him to move back into the train room. Of course,...
Love the pull-out drawer! (y) I want to do something like that on my layout. Glad the headaches you were experiencing are getting better.
Thank you so much, Trainz! :) And there is no shame in selective modeling compression!!! My dream layout would have been in one in a nice...
The layout may be compact, but the amount of interesting info being shared on this thread is humongous! :)
Today I opened up two packages of Atlas Code 55 #10 RIGHT turnouts and that's when I noticed one of the packages actually contained a LEFT...
It's been awhile since I gave an update. Work is still progressing on laying the track on the mill property, but a combination of inexperience and...
Take it easy and get those headaches under control, SD; when I was younger I was plagued by them for several years and so I know what you are...
I'm most anxious about the turnouts and the tortoise motors -- the latter because I am not yet sure how I will be attaching those motors to the...
Well, well, well ... I see an advance crew is doing some prep work for the mill property track that is being installed. ;) [ATTACH] This is...
Thanks, Hemi. Very helpful! (y)
Thank you, Joe. :)
Well ... thank you everyone for the input on the mainline track spacing. I've decided to fall back to 1.25" center-to-center. The initial track...
Thank you for this!!!!!! Just started laying the track on my layout. I would be kicking myself if I had seen it after the fact.
I've started laying out the initial steel mill property track and that got me to wondering about ALL of the track I've planned on that side of the...
In the 1980s, my local Long's drugstore (they were eaten up by CVS about 10 years ago) sold woo woo woo. They had relatively good prices too.
I hear ya, Astro. I am eager to get my trains running. The only reason I didn't start laying the track straight away is my track plan is pretty...
