I used to model in "N" 1:160 (U.S.), so some of the automation (vehicles/crossing gates and lights) is just amazing in T Scale.
@brakecompo2005 15 күн бұрын
I have seen several of your videos & am sure that your idea of going with linear motor propulsion is the right way to go in T Scale and below. Is the next step to put railways in the landscape even more, by going for an even smaller scale with this system, e.g. the ship modelling scale of 1200/1250 to one?
@modelrailmusings5981 15 күн бұрын
There are practical size limits with the system, at both the large and small ends. I have built and run trains down to 1:720, which is about as small as I care to go (although with larger US prototypes, the same size would work out to 1:900). Cars are already pretty much at the limit with 1:480, although trucks and buses could be smaller. I do have some ideas for 1:4000/5000 using a completely different approach, and may eventually get around to giving that a go. Maybe.

This actually messed with me at first oh my god. This is amazing, well done! The linear motor stuff is amazing, i’m struggling to figure out how you even get most of this to work, like how do things uncouple or switch lines, how do wagons even stay on the rails??? Also, I think you’ve somehow fixed both the issue of space and the issue of cost in model railways.
@modelrailmusings5981 23 күн бұрын
Thank you. There is more info on my website, but I chose this route to get around the severe limitations of conventional T. And yes, while it has its own limitiations and isn't viable commercially, it does solve most of the usual problems and allow some very nice tricks. I am certainly not looking back!

@althejazzman Ай бұрын
Is it actually running on rails, or just printed pictures of track? I'm not knocking the modelling, just trying to understand the limitations of this tiny scale.
@modelrailmusings5981 Ай бұрын
The track surface is paper; the actual track underneath is a circuit board that the paper is glued to. Correct rail height in this scale would be about 0.3mm, so it would be barely noticeable anyway.

What? Cars? Turntable? Fully automated? All in T scale? Thats incredible... Wow!
@modelrailmusings5981 Ай бұрын
Oddly enough, the turntable is actually easier to do in linear motor T than in the larger more conventional scales, since the mechanism is simpler and much less alignment accuracy is needed. Ditto for automation in general. The difficult parts were getting normal railway features such as turnouts and shunting working properly.

I have to make everything myself. There is more info on my website (see this video's description), including under-board pics, plus videos here of earlier projects and test tracks.

So what does it look like over 100 years later after decades of advancements and improvements? For some reason I am imagining a rocket base, something with the look of Star Fleet Academy, but I know England does not do space. So maybe now it is a huge modern station like Frankfurt or Amsterdam? I would love to see it now after so many years of investments, does it skilfully combine the old with the modern, or did they remove this old masterpiece to build a huge concrete monstrosity in the sixties? At least you Europeans know the value of the old and railways and invest in them, here it would have been demolished many years ago to build a freeway and a carpark.

It has changed very little in 111 years. The viaduct, goods shed and loco depot are long gone, and a few buildings along the main street have been replaced by newer ones, but that is about it. I was able to do most of the work from modern pictures. Well, I did have to edit out the heliport, so does that count?

It is very much a case of making a virtue of necessity. There is nothing commercially available, but the tiny size means that designing and 3D printing is **much** easier than in the larger scales. As a bonus, it gives me complete freedom about era, scale and prototype. And yes, G&S seemed very appropriate for music - in small doses anyway, since it is a bit of an acquired taste!

The simpler layouts can generally look after themselves, but with complex shunting moves trains can sometimes slip out of place and need to be watched. The oldest has had 2 weeks of continuous running with no signs of wear, but I don't know how they would hold up to 52 weeks per year.

Like everyone , I suspect, I am awed by this layout. One question, are your locos and rolling stock coupled to each other, or are they all driven at the same speed by the linear drive beneath when a train is formed up?
@modelrailmusings5981 Ай бұрын
They are uncoupled but move in formation, the same way as the road vehicles all move at the same speed. That means I can couple and uncouple by simply stopping the train over a section break and turning off power to one section.

Still Very convincing despite the macro size, the linear drive works super, speeds are not overly exaggerated like the commercial available T scale trains with motors in them. And the 2D printed track is much better in appearance in this small scale than the actual T scale track does. Does every vehicle have a magnet?
@modelrailmusings5981 Ай бұрын
Thank you. While the system does have its quirks, you can see why I abandoned conventional T. The speeds are intentionally still a little high since this is designed for exhibitions, and I don't want to bore the audience while trains crawl across the viaduct and through the station! And yes, every vehicle has multiple magnets, generally 4 or 8 for rail, 3 or 4 for road.

@phillipg1588 Ай бұрын
I model in N gauge and that's small enough for me. But my main gripe is the lack of EVERYTHING when compared to HO/OO gauge. HO/OO is king even though N scale is a close second. With T gauge you would be forced to make everything yourself, there's simply nothing out there available for T gauge?
@modelrailmusings5981 Ай бұрын
Not quite that bad. There is a small range of T products, but very limited, and of limited use to me since the drive system is so different. Also, architectural models and model ship builders often work in 1:400 or 1:500, so I can get brass etched fences, railings, people, etc. In practice, however, I do end up making nearly everything else myself. The tiny size means that I can get away with very simple, almost crude, models, and since I have to do the work anyway I have complete freedom in what I model - any era, any prototype. Like most things, there are both pros and cons.

Truly amazing. You have come such a long way since Sarum, which was an outstanding layout. Is the rolling stock to your own designs, or are they from "Everything T Gauge"? OT's are great, the massive finger can do such gentle things, eh?
@modelrailmusings5981 Ай бұрын
Thanks! Sarum was a learning experience in so many ways, but really was a dead end for me. While the linear motor approach certainly causes its own trials and tribulations, it does solve all of usual problems with T. And yes, all the trains and structures are my own designs. Those models are very low-resolution (as you can see in the closeups), which makes it quite easy to design them from scratch.

Glad you like it. Compliments from real railwaymen are worth bonus points! The sequences and shunting were deliberately kept simple for exhibition audiences, and I tried to strike a a balance between authenticity and not boring the audience. I have experimented with making working semaphores in this scale, but doing that in quantity and making them reliable... nope. Colour light signals are perfectly doable, but obviously wrong for the period. I suppose I could have just put black Xs on each arm!
