I was wondering if it was an automatic switch that only worked one way on purpose... The train at Dollywood uses a single track that switches, does a circle, and then goes the other direction on the same track and I've always wondered how they changed directions without throwing a switch!

Awesome job! Your switching layout is looking great. One idea that I have for your switch links is to take a look at RC aircraft linkage. There are several styles to choose from, and they can be either threaded or soldered to length. Thank you once again for another great video! Oh, BTW, my wife and I had driven down to the old ghost town of Dragon o the old Uintah Railway. We had also driven up Baxter pass as far as we could until we had came up to the snowdrift, which was about 14.2 miles south from the Colorado Utah border. While out there I had found a few more narrow gauge RR spikes, tie plates, and splice plate bolts. It was a fun trip!

I don't know why I'm telling you this because you have way more skill, knowledge, tools, etc than I do, but I noticed you were using the fibre type cutting disc in the Dremel. I recently "invested" (it was about £6) in a 2" diamond cutting disc for mine and it's made all the difference when cutting rail stock. One big difference was being able to keep the tool parallel to the rail instead of ending up with an angled cut you have to spend more time dressing square. Anyway, that's enough from the apprentice to the master! ;-)
@ToyManTelevision
@ToyManTelevision 4 жыл бұрын
Hi I started by using the thin composite disc. In the video it breaks! So I switched to the heaver disc. Same size really. But it all that fits my Dremel tool. As works fine, but does as you say cut at a slight angle. BUT I have a lot of clean up to do on the casting, so squaring that up is easy.

I will be hand laying in On42 ( colonial gauge) using Code 83 and 70 rail. Gauge 7/8" ( same as S) The videos of tracklaying in smaller and larger scales will both be of assistance. My Turnouts ( "points" ) will be close to prototype ( #16 to #24), with a radius of 66" ( = 4 chains) to 132" ( 8 chains). Tie plates will be brass shim, dogspikes brass or steel ( HO size). Composite card or wood Ties, cork roadbed, etc. The composite card is Three sheets of Coca-Cola carton F-flute corrugated Board, laminated to show bare brown outer surface, and Guillotine cut to 3/16" Wide x 1-3/4" long. 1:48 scale gives excellent Inch scale measurements, and the Prototype Specs are all Imperial, wooden rolling stock pre- 1945. Great Videos...recorded them to Hard drive for ongoing reference. Australia.

When the Coshocton RR club had to move to a new location at the Coshocton Fairgrounds, they were given one of the full size lever frames from a local tower being torn down. They incorporated this into the concrete floor of the building and use it to control signals and turnouts in an adjacent town. You still have some full size switch stands, right dale? Why not set them up to control turnouts on the outside portion of the layout! There will need to be some engineering to reduce the throw travel, sure, but the novelty of it all!

From a track foreman, the curved stock rail should have an angle bent in the rail to match the angle of the opposite point as that point contacts the straight stock rail and the heel of the point is where it is supposed to be to allow wheel flanges room similar to the flangeway and guardrail. AREA railroad plans specify how far from the switch point the stock angle is to be for each switch point length. A scale length of about 6 inches will be adequate so the point of the straight through point will be "hidden" behind the gauge line for wheel flanges not to pick the point. Bending the stock rail to the switch angle is 'putting stock in the rail'. I have seen how far in front of the switch point the bend is supposed to be but I can't find it right now. Turnouts for railroads typically have the switch points and frog straight so no special parts are needed for right hand or left hand. Trolley trackage has curved frogs and curved switches to save space. A switch rod to hold the points together can be made from copper coated electrical board with the copper cut through so there is no short between the rails and small bolts or brads for the pins. That will keep the switch points from flipping up as equipment rides over the points. The heels of switch points are always spaced so they are loose in the bars so the points may be thrown. Modern No 20, No 24 , & No 30 switches have the points welded to the closure rails and rely on rail spring for the movement but the lengths are 39 or more feet.

Wow thanks! I’ve seen the sharp bend at the points and that makes sense. Most modelers I know notch the stock rail so the points close right inside the stock rail but in a large scale that looks silly. I think. My going to sperment on my next switch with the sharp bend thanks. The throw rod is tricky. Well not to get it to work but to look real. In this size you can’t get away with anything. But a 100% accurate throw bar is too weak. So I’m messing. Ordered some circuit board. Experimenting.

@@ToyManTelevision I did some looking and CSX & UP have the vertex of the stock rail 8 1/4 inch in front of the switch point but those switch points are longer. Somewhere between 6 and 8 inches ought to work. Remember that switch points are 11 feet to 39 feet or more long and have a heel space of 4 1/2 to about 6 inches so the angles are going to be small. The switch points you are using look to be about a scale 11 feet; which makes the switch angle 1 degree 57' 13". Most switch points are either 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch thick so that is how much you need to hide from the wheel flanges. Sketch the layout on paper or cardboard to get an idea of what you are dealing with. Good luck with it. Just for grins, giggles, chuckles, and laughs I ran the calculation for proportion of 4.5 inches over at 11 feet is 7.3 inches. So if you put the vertex at 7 to 7.25 inches you will be fine.

Well the frog is the same! I’ve laid stub switches and even thrown full sided ones. Or been thrown by them! The reason the arm is about 8 feet long is you need that kind of leverage to bend even 35 pound rail!!

Beautiful work and wonderful explanation and comparison of and between the prototype and the model. I would say that a couple of times I had to take a double take to figure out which was which. But, that would be telling the truth. WOW! Question: The front track to the right of the cross over is a bit short. From camera view it appears to be only a car and a half long. Intentional, or planned manifest destiny later on through the backdrop? Just counting rivets. I'm glad Micro Engineering works in your scale.... One of my last remaining ME switches (of the original 35) is coming out next week. Adjusting it one more time will kill it. If I had all that money back I could afford toilet paper.

Hi! The purpose for that crossover is has to run the engine around the train after pulling into the stub yard. So that little Track has to be just long enough to hold a locomotive because every inch used there is an inch of yard track that I lose out on. So I know my big engines will never fit down there but I’m sort of basing the whole thing on the C 19. This way a train can be pulled into track one locomotive unhooked and run around it on track two, pull the whole train out by the backend and shove it into track three. At least that’s my plan. As I don’t actually do operations it’s more of a mental game than anything.
