Thanks for the tips, everyone! I fiddled with a bunch of different things, even plaster, but a few weeks ago I found that CMR 3D prints the C18...
Thanks, Mark. I’m not going to worry so much about the rounded corners at this point. I figured I could sand them down enough that the small size...
Hey everyone, Longtime no post. Been getting back into the layout slowly, but surely. Next big task is to create an Ann Arbor style caboose in Z...
Excellent! Ann Arbor used these. I was going to get an SW1200, paint it up in AAR colors, and ignore the historical inaccuracy, but this changes...
Bummer. I bought his box girder bridge. What a joy to assemble for my novice hands. Really got my excitement up and running to construct the rest...

I’m putting an end to this thread. I just took the turnouts apart and cleaned every surface I could find. Tested again with a continuity meter and...

So I replaced the insulated joiners with nickel/silver joiners. Instead of stalling out, the loco shorts out. Both blocks are set to the same cab,...
Holy crap, man! You just blew my mind. I had no idea I could do that. I feel dumb now. Will test it out tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using...
So do you think if I boost this section of track that would help? It currently is not powered for some reason, which is what I think my problem is.
Sorry, I was not clear. This section of track is not fed from the adjoining turnout because it is joined with insulated joiners. The two joining...
