Would you recommend the Menards intermodal/well cars?
@RABSTRAINS13 сағат бұрын
They aren’t bad. I like them for the price. I purchased most of them just as the car then purchased the containers separately from Menards as well. Heck, purchase a car( yellow, brown & blue colors) and a package of two containers and try them out. The Lionel and Atlas well cars I believe are more detailed and sturdy, but a lot more money!

What thickness of foam board did you use? And did you put plywood down as a base for the foam to attach to?
@RABSTRAINS13 сағат бұрын
Plywood base and I think it was 1/2 or 3/4 inch pink foam board. I then just covered it with the green outdoor carpet that looks like grass. Very short grass.

@@RABSTRAINS Thank you for replying. I’m thinking of doing a 4x8 layout for my O scale trains and trying to decide witch would be the best base to use. I want to keep it simple and enjoyable with operating accessories for my grandchildren to operate. I have decent size HO scale layout that has been a long term project. So scenery work doesn’t interest me much for this table layout.
@RABSTRAINS3 сағат бұрын
@@scottbohn929 totally understand. Mine is very simple. The 4x8 extension that forms the L on my layout has no foam board, just carpet on top of the plywood. The long main section has the foam.

Hey, wanted to let you know that the motors are wired in parallel. If you wire them in series, they take more throttle to get up to speed but your sounds are better and lights are brighter.
My wires are blue and red, unit has no sounds I assume because no speaker. Has a board with electronic reverse but reverse won’t work. Transformer will run it forward only.
