Testing the track plan - first impression of my new mini OO / H0 layout 🚂 H0 Moba Kleinstanlage

[@paulvozman842]

Hi Erik, your track plan is looking good, it a better size now. Finally you will be able to run 2 trains at the same time. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

[@railway187]

Hi Paul, yes, I want a layout that has enough playability but is small enough to move around easily. 128x81 is a size I can take around without help. I will use 4 mm multiplex on a light timber frame and with detachable legs. So easy to move around. And it has two loops and three sidings, quite a few possibilities to run my trains. By the way, together with the new track I ordered a Dapol kit for a Blue Circle cement hopper... But first the new layout 😊 Thanks for watching! Erik

[@derbundesbahnandre8357]

Nice layout. Thumps up. 🙋🏻‍♂️👍👍😁😃

[@stationmasterschoice-walku1307]

An interesting plan there. I like the loco. it is number 3 Bodiam as it ran on the Kent and East Sussex Railway in the UK. That is the railway I volunteer on, where I am a Stationmaster and booking clerk actually AT Bodiam station.

@@railway187 We do have two Terriers, one of which is currently opreational and comes out for special occasions.

[@monsvillerailways5736]

Looks good so far. Always good to have 2 circuits with a controller each, to have passing trains. As you say, leave enough room on straights for a station. Happy modelling 👍

[@patricksmodels]

That's a good plan, in future I'd like to get some radius 0 track for the inner line on my 90x100 cm layout.

[@railway187]

@@patricksmodels In your current layout you could fit the smaller Fleischmann radius (it's even smaller than this Märklin K-track).

[@railway187]

Fleischmann product number 6020

@railway187 thanks

[@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy]

I'm liking the look of this! I'm thinking of a 1-off small scale 00 or TT:120, but the range of products for TT:120 worry me. This looks really good for a compact 00 Gauge Layout! Looking forward to this buddy!

[@railway187]

@@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy I think TT is quite limited. Especially very little affordable secondhand rolling stock to get. I was considering N-gauge, but also in N the availability is a bit of a problem. And I can do maintenance and small repairs of OO-locomotives, but I can't see how I would repair these miniature N-scale locomotives. So I decided to stick to OO. I will start building this layout during the Christmas holidays. I will try to upload a few videos as the built goes. Thanks for watching!

[@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy]

@railway187 Looking forward to seeing your progress on this layout for sure 🙂. I'll be following this progress closely! 🙂

[@daniellietz4367]

Hi Erik , klasse , der Gleisplan , deiner neuen Anlage , bin gespannt wie es weiter geht ☺👍👍. Gruß Daniel 🙋‍♂🙋‍♂.

[@arnoutuittenbroek8963]

Dat is een goed streven. Veel flexibilteit.

[@ArcadiaJunctionHobbies]

That's a clever plan the more I look at it. Loads of potential.

[@railway187]

@@ArcadiaJunctionHobbies I am also considering to make part of the largest radius isolated so I could switch it on / off and have a locomotive waiting there while a shunter is connecting rolling stock to it.

Hello, Great vlog, I really liked it, have a nice evening!🍀 Greetings from Seven🖖

[@dutchbeef8920]

I mix my Dutch HO with British OO on my lay out, its a lot of fun. For me its just about having somewhere to run my trains

[@valentinsn-ostalgiemodellbahn]

Always interesting to watch a creative mind thinking, trying out, changing and finding the best solution. Keep up the good work, Erik! Glück Auf und Fahrt Frei Valentin

[@railway187]

Thanks, Valentin. I like finding solutions for making a model railway on a very small space. I hope it convinces other people who dream very hard of having a model railway, but think they don't have the space for it. 🙂

[@PaulAFulcher]

Nice update Erik...👀👍

[@jetmec]

That looks a good plan

[@SergeevVladimir-s6j]

Привет! Надеюсь, новый план получится удачным. Нужно только продумать электромеханику к этим стрелочным переводам.

[@railway187]

@@SergeevVladimir-s6j Я стрелки ручную буду перевести. На такой маленький макет всё легко достать. А дома буду регулярно менять: то макет Английски, то Советский 🙂 Спасибо за просмотр!

[@robstovrailway]

Wow you are going small! Exciting to see you create something new. I've tried Hornby, Peco and Mehano track, but Piko A track remains my preference so good choice on your outer line :)

[@arnoutuittenbroek8963]

Ga je bij deze baan ballastmatten gebruiken?

[@railway187]

@@arnoutuittenbroek8963 Ja, inderdaad. En ik ga proberen om ze niet of bijna niet te lijmen, gewoon onder de sporen leggen en dan de sporen vast vijzen. Benieuwd of het zal lukken. Ik wacht nog op de baseboard, op maat besteld, had gisteren moeten binnenkomen,aarzel het is druk deze dagen wellicht.

Ik ben een fan van transparente siliconenkit. Daar plak ik de ballastmatten mee op de tafel. Met een spachtel smeer ik de kit uit. Mvg. Arnout

[@railway187]

@@arnoutuittenbroek8963 Ik wil de layout flexibel houden, het moet gemakkelijk zijn om later eventueel wijzigingen uit te voeren. Ik ga proberen om zoveel mogelijk te bevestigen zonder lijm. Of het zal lukken is nog maar de vraag natuurlijk 🙂

[@railroadhistory]

The only drawback of the plan when You have two trains, running different direction, You can not put them from one oval to another :-)

[@railway187]

@@railroadhistory Thanks for your comment! Indeed, that would be a short circuit then? I am starting to think now: if a locomotive runs from one oval to the second, so over the isolated joint between the connecting points, will it not cause an overload when its wheels will connect the two circuits? It would receive 16V from one circuit and 16 V from the other? Would that be 32 V, so an overload?

[@SergeevVladimir-s6j]

Лучше сначала собрать эту схему без макета, чтобы испытать на ней все варианты поездов, которые на ней будут работать.

[@arcadystepanov3933]

Между стрелками и кривыми лучше вставить, хотя бы небольшие, прямые. Иначе, могут быть проблемы, особенно с переходом из кривой по отклонению стрелки и обратно. Понятно, что место ограничено... Но, все же. Я столкнулся с проблемами как раз на таких переходах, возникших из-за тесноты. Теперь пара локомотивов могут преодолеть это место только в одном направлении. Что интересно: это не паровозы.

[@railway187]

@@arcadystepanov3933 Да, это важно. Я забираюсь резать из Flexitrack маленькие прямые куски рельса (около 3 цм) и из поставить между стрелками и курвами. Надеюсь что будет хватать. Спасибо за просмотр !
