      Awesome to hear! I've made some changes to mine since making the series but that's also because I did slight modifications to my layout and still doing so. If you have detailed questions, feel free to email me and I'll try my best to help.

    What do you think about applying a sealer or paint to all the plywood first to prevent warping? I like that you are nailing the outside of the track ties and the cork roadbed rather than gluing it down. Nailing the inside of the track ties looks horrible. Nailing the outside of the track ties is barely noticeable.

    • @TheTrainFreak
      @TheTrainFreak 5 дней назад

      Most of the time, it's already started warping at the box store because the lumber today is crap unless you buy the expensive stuff.

      Possible but even their quality has gone downhill and that can be more expensive than just buying the better boards.

      @@TheTrainFreak What would you suggest as a better plywood that doesn't warp that Home Depot or Lowe's sells?

    • @TheTrainFreak
      @TheTrainFreak 4 дня назад

      Once you get everything screwed in as long as you have enough bracing (16" centers), I haven't noticed a warping issue with 1/2" ply on top. I also use project plywood that has one extra ply and comes pre-sanded on one side.

    What did you cut the angled line in the plywood for the wall that's not square with? You didn't show that. A circular saw with a track?

    • @TheTrainFreak

      Yes, I used a chalk line to mark my line and a circular saw to cut it. The angle is based on the measurements.

    You are a brave soul for tackling that thing! Curious, and others are probably too, what is the cost difference between the Walthers vs this one? I am thinking not just $, but also time to install.

    • @TheTrainFreak
      @TheTrainFreak Месяц назад

      Materials in rail, copper ties, and wooden ties is probably around $50 at most for this build. I spent maybe a total of 10 hours (not waiting on glue to dry) on the build process. You'll have to buy a point form tool but that can be used for single turnouts as well and if you buy the jig, the price does goes up at front but the more you build, the cost spreads out over time. I was told that if you buy the jig, point form tools, rail, and ties; it would take roughly 25 to 30 turnouts to offset your cost but I've never done the math. You have to think of this as a long term investment rather than all up front cost.
