Whoa! Thanks for the shout out. Thank you for showing the whole layout. It helps me put things in perspective. Keep up the great work. Really enjoy your videos and I learn something new each time.

Am a DC guy - use Peco turnouts 100% (with Atlas Code 83 flex track). Like them for being power routing-do have to add jumpers from time to time. Perhaps their quality comes from where they are manufactured-UK vs. China!

@JosephMusgrove 4 күн бұрын

@@AllenCNW441 I went with Micro-Engineering turnouts when I started building the layout. But actually had to exchange several for defects including overuse of glue during the manufacturing process. That was right before the company was sold. But unless something changes in quality, I plan to stay with Peco.

how do you create curves in the right of way

@JosephMusgrove 2 ай бұрын

@@rickzander4859 Found the easiest way is to create a template with soldering wiring. Basically you carefully shape the wire along the curves and within the curve. You can then place the wire on the foam and carefully cut along the wire. Before gluing down the foam, you can trim as needed. (Wheel spacing for example)
