Thought you guys would get a kick out of this. We picked out our Christmas Tree yesterday, and while we waited for the branches to fall down a...
I agree with Mark Smith's comments about it being too square. Right now it looks like a schematic map of a subway system, and while it may make...
What a nice layout. I love everything about it.
I bought an NCE PowerCab last year, and so far have been pretty happy with it. Sometimes I wish they had gone with a regular knob for the throttle...
Hello Everett, welcome! I'm sure this thread will soon be filled with tips and links, but generally, you just want to make sure to keep your...
You'll benefit from doing a few "test" tracklayings before you do it on your real layout. The area that you'll want to really get down to a...
Welcome, PinMd! I think you'll find that a lot of us here started the same way. I think we may even have the same TechII transformer. My...
Is THIS the one? edit: Also this one and these ones, too.
Here's mine. It's covered in leaves now, but you get the idea :) [IMG]
That's a cool way of thinking about the routes, based on the way it comes in, the path it takes through the middle, and the way it exits, dstuard....
If 2/3, 5/7 and 6/8 are wired so that they always mirror one another, that would add another pair of DPDT switches. I'm sure someone somewhere has...
I'd like to be able to use both, which is what initially drew me to the Wabbit. Yeah, I think that avoiding problems because of a second train...
I think you're right. Like Route 100 Clear could set the A line to use the top path (1T,4C,5/7C) and Route 100 Thrown could send set 1C,3C, 5/7T),...
Yeah, certainly no reason to not have 2-3, 5-7, and 6-8 set up as pairs. Not sure why I originally thought that this wouldn't work, but yeah... if...
I've been planning a smallish (3'x8') double-track twice-around n-scale layout for the basement, and there's a section that I would really like to...
Thanks for all of the tips, guys. Definitely some things worth trying out.
Since it's going to be a while before I attempt any sort of serious layout, I've been keeping myself busy playing with XTrkCad and reading books...
I use eBay... way more than I really should, both as a buyer and a seller. You want to be able to get the most money for your stuff with the least...
This is an awesome idea. You could probably replace the two buttons with one momentary contact DPDT switch and make it even simpler, too. I'm...
I'm always amazed at how firmly in place model scale ballast can hold things. Thanks for the tip jpf94.
