Model Railway Update 11 - Laying The Track

In our previous video we showed you how we laid track across the lifting bring section of our layout. In this video we show you most of the rest of the track laying around the two main circuits of out layout.
In our next video we will show you how we laid the points and installed the point-motors and electrics, so come back soon for the next model railway update!

I'm very excited to see the layout when it's complete.

[@SimonsTrainAdventures]

So are we! We've made quite a lot of progress on it recently, and have lots of videos to edit, so stay tuned and there will be more model railway updates soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Great to ee you back in the shed together again.

[@SimonsTrainAdventures]

Thanks! We've done loads in the shed recently, but not had time to edit all the videos yet! So expect more Model Railway Updates soon...

[@AndrewH561]

Great progress 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

[@SimonsTrainAdventures]

Thanks for joining us on the journey!

Amazing! I love that viaduct :)

[@SimonsTrainAdventures]

Thank you very much! There’s a separate video about how we made it here: Model Railway Update 5 - Customising the Metcalfe Viaduct kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4S3nqaKf5WKkLc

That foam rubber ballast is still available from Noch # 99167 Gleisbettung. I used both the Noch and the one you use and they are identical. You can cut them at an angle to go under points and use foam glue to join them. It is a bit fiddly but it works. Also, please, you and Simon always wear safety glasses when cutting small bits off the end of track. The severed bits can fly so easily into an eye and do a lot of damage.

[@SimonsTrainAdventures]

That's useful to know, thanks. If we need any more I'll look for the Noch products. I think the Gaugemaster product was manufactured by Noch anyway.

Great work 👍, interesting how you used the foam type of ballast to put all the flexi track together. That could be an idea for a future model railway. I found flexi track to be rather tricky because the last time I used n scale flexi track it ended up in complete shambles. Mostly due to not having the right tools. It's a good thing that you demonstrated how to use it and solder wires onto the rails. By the way, how are things getting on? Keep your steam up Simon, your track work in the train shed looks impressive. Cheers Kevig

[@SimonsTrainAdventures]

Yes the flexi track needs a bit more work, especially making curves, which sadly I forgot to film. The templates make it much easier. Our layout is almost all flexi track. We’ve only used set track for sections that go behind the scenes. All is great with us. Hope you are doing well too.

what percentage is your incline? Thanks
