Frank, Nice job! Its always a work in progress from what I learned. Is this one module for your entire layout? What type of track are you using? John
John, It is my start of a US layout, it is the first module (I take my time). I have used Micro enginering code 40 rail, Fast track pcb and wood ties. Switches are #8 self build. More to see at my web side.
Frank, Looks like its going well. I take mine slow also just because that is the way life dictates it for me not because I really want to. What module standards are you using?Looks like its going well. John
John, I don't use a particular standard, since I am not a member of any z-scale club. Well and I simly have no time to travel frequently to modular Z-scale meetings here within Europe. So, I will just align the tracks of next module. Bolt modules together. At the end of track I screw a brass screw through the cork bed and the last couple of pcb ties are glued to it. All track work is glued down the road bed with a 2 component epoxy glue. I don't use rail joiners. Track is just aligned with a small gap inbetween the rails. This way it is not one rigid assembly of track. Every piece of track has it's own feeder wires. So far this works fine. First next module will be a fiddle yard. That way, trains can enter and leave the scene of action (switching puzzle). Further more I have more plans than time, space and funds to build it.
