Final Days Of My Layout…..New Adventures To Come!!
Well I have made the difficult decision to scrap the layout. Just not enough space, time, and people to help get it to the new house. Even if I could, it just would not work out well in our new place, just not enough space.
Oh well, 4th time is the charm right???? Well here’s hoping.
I have big plans for the future. I will keep you posted.
This is not the end of this channel. I have some new videos I plan on making soon. Just need a little time to work through some problems with the house. But once things settle down, I will be back at it.

N-Scale Layout Damage….What Happened!
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Месяц назад
Ok so what happen was…….I am moving and the layout is not being left behind. My hope was to remove the layout from the wall, add in supports and bring it with me. Now that it is off the wall, I am not so sure this is going to happen. Some of you might think I was a little rough with getting the layout out. In some ways I was. We are in a fast move and we have a whole house that needs to go and ...

Man did a few of my engines not want to play nice in the sandbox today. Surprisingly, my Athearn was not one of them. My Athearn ran beautifully today with not a single problem!! I am very excited to show off my new addition to my fleet though. The beautiful Southern Pacific Daylight set. I have always wanted this set for the longest time. I am so grateful I was finally able to make it happen. ...

I got a little more work done this weekend. I thought the mountain was a little too high so I lowered it an inch. This drop may make it look a little more realistic……or maybe not. Anyhow what is done is done. I think I may try my hand at retaining walls next…… PO Box 2365 Gardnerville, NV 89410 Email: silverstatetrainz@gmail.com

I have not had much time to work on the layout due to travel for work and other things keeping me busy. I thought I would just do a video showing what arrived at my door the other day. Sorry for the sound. My mic died halfway through and then the sound quality changed. I am hoping my mics are not dying. We shall see.

I think I got the transition fixed at the 4% downgrade on my passenger line. I cut out a good chunk of foam and put in the top part of a 2% starter. I had to shim it as I in advertently put a divot in it. So far so good. I will run this for a bit and see how it does.  PO Box 2365 Gardnerville, NV 89410 Email: silverstatetrainz@gmail.com

Got a lot more work done this weekend. All the wiring is done with the exception of hooking up the switches. Still need to build the boxes for those. All in time.

Ok I figured it out. Who knew the short address only went to 127……….ok ok…this guy did not know that. So all 12 plus installs I did on this engine were actually a success.

Well this is a longer video where I highlight my latest haul for the month of August included my new engine I acquired. I attempted to install a decoder in the engine and I failed. Not sure what went wrong. I am hoping the decoder does not work as the install was super easy. I am very disappointed with the results but this is the hobby. I reached out to digitrax. Hopefully they have some insigh...

Another quick update as I wait for parts to come in. Once I get the rest of the track and connectors, I can work on the buildings to test out the room while also testing and tuning the track. Hopefully then I can glue it down. PO Box 2365 Gardnerville, NV 89410 Email: silverstatetrainz@gmail.com

I figured I would cross two things off of my todo list…..:testing my programming track and soldering a DCC decoder. I am happy to report both are working great. My programming track worked out fantastically. I just had to move my bus wires over to the programming track and it worked out as planned. In the future I would like to wire in a selectable switch to make it easier. I also FINALLY conve...

Hang in there bud
Hi Stephen. Starting over is a great time to put into practice what you have learned from previous builds; e.g. make bigger holes for your power bus wire! Remind us about the reason for the move.
Nooooooo!!!!
Oh boy, if I had actually started a RUclips channel to document my N scale layout build last year I would have lost all my subscribers already. Life just happens and gets busy, family always has to come first but we're always here to share the hobby and we will still be here when you come back!
i do love starting fresh and have many times
Here’s to new adventures. Shed layouts are awesome, they’re huge over in England. Please work on getting family life together first, we’re not going anywhere. We will be here when you’re ready.
Family first we understand life happens and things come up you’ll get there again with the layout. We will wait to see the new build. Until then have a great day and week
Sorry to hear about the disruption of you model railroad journey. What you've shared along the way was appreciated
How about next time you build the layout in modules that are bolted together. I have moved so many times that it is necessary to design and build a moveable layout.
Hi Silver State Trains , sorry to see the layout gone. Moving is a hard job. Me and wife are going to be moving in the near future. We have been here for 37 years it’s not going to be easy. But I agreed to the move if I could have my own train room and she agreed to my idea. We’re planning on getting a modular home and the Lady helping us is making sure I get my train room. I just got layout back running a couple of weeks ago. Been breaking in some new locomotives. Everything is running smoothly. If you have to start out with a small layout it’s fine. Because we all just want to run trains. My layout is a 8 x 4 . I plan to add to it. Good luck with your move and your future plans for a new layout. I’ll be looking for some updates in the future. I’m not going anywhere. You and your family have a very Merry Christmas. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week. 😎😎 👍
sorry to hear you had to move at such short notice, hoping all is well and this works out as a better situation for you and your family. I am not going anywhere, I will be here when you get around to being able to get back to your RUclips channel, but in the meant time, take care of yourself and loved ones. See you soon!
Hi Silver State Trains & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Silver State Trains & Friends Randy
Moving and Hemerorids have similar characteristics 😮
Starting over is always a pain in the ass... It's nice that you could make the move before the holidays. Something you may want to give some serious thought to is making your next layout modular. If you're ever faced with a situation like this again they're so much easier to tear down and even reconfigure to fit the new spaces or expand. But you and the family have a good holiday and I look forward to what you come up with next!
We will be here!! Im not going anywhere. Get your family back together 1st.
You got this!
Thank you!!
You are going to have to do a multiple layer layout.
If my dream of building g a large 200 sqft shed comes true, I would build a single level layout with different elevation. That should be more than enough track for my needs. I forget what they are called but the round track ladders needed to get from one level to the next I hear are problematic though that is hearsay at this point. Could just do a drop track but not sure of the need at this point. Once I start designing the track maybe I will see things differently.
If And When You Rebuild Think About it Very Hard.
Oh yeah. I have been thinking of layout ideas and things I would do differently. I am ready to start building already. Lol
Looking forward to seeing you after the move and establishing of a new layout! Happy holidays to you and your family!
Thank you!! Me too. Have some plans just need time to get them going. Little by little though. One thing is for sure, if my plan works out, it will be a big layout!!
Thank you for showing me that you can use the Kato power pack solely for the switches. I’m new to the hobby and I recently got a DCC controller. So I was scared to use both systems together.
You are welcome!! Welcome to the hobby. Warning…..it is a lot of fun and addicting. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
It would be nice if Kato made DCC turn outs. I have one DCC turn out by Bachmann and it’s wireless. It gets the signal right from track power. I’m kinda spoiled by that now 😂
That is cool. I did not know about those. That would be a great add on.
Hi, interested in your buss wire connectors. What are they and where can I get them ? Thanks in advance. John

Best wishes! Salvage the track; redesign a new layout in the new space. Make it modular. Then you’re ready for whatever happens in future. Thanks for your hard work & teaching.
You've got this!!
Thank you!!
Borrow some 7th grade boys, they'll loosen all that benchwork for ya !
Even if I can get help moving it out, into a truck and out of the truck, I just don’t have the space for it in my new place
With all due respect, scrap it and start fresh.
Yup. That is my plan. Really my only choice. 4th time is the charm…….i hope lol.
When I saw you working the crow bar I wish that you would have tried to push it instead of pulling. That is if you could manage to get it in between the plank and the wall. This should give more leverage. Anyway glad you managed to get it done. Best of luck with the moving and the model railway hobby.
I tried both ways. Not enough room to push. It worked out though with now damage to the walls. I will build a new layout again. To addicting to let it sit. Thanks!!
Good luck with the move. Going to Oregon? Wasn't sure. Thats where I moved to from CALI. What I have done is keep small portions of all my layouts for the new one. Plus lots of photos. I am starting my new build in Oregon soon! Getting the garage set up!
I am staying local. Just a new older home on land. More space now well except for the garage part. Good luck on the new build. I really enjoy the building part.
I helped a friend move years ago we wound up cutting his layout into sections stripping the benchwork and switch machine off just leaving the top. Then we built all new benchwork it is standing and running 20years later. We are planning on moving in a year or 2 so I'm building everything modular now
Not a bad idea. That is the nice thing about building with Kato unitrack. Just take it apart and bring it with you. I am only out the cost of the wood, foam and wire. Still a loss but the track and feeder wires are all reusable.
Wow so sorry you have to do this to this beautiful layout. I have had to do this in the past and it did not survive. I sure hope yours does.. would like to see you running again.. good luck..
Thank you. Is what it is unfortunately. Layout is gone at this point and I will rebuild once the dust settles. Hopefully will get my last video out soon from the old house.
I stopped watching at 4:10. I cannot watch what happens! Man oh man. 😅😢😂 Great luck with new house and your move bud
lol. Yeah it was complete destruction. Oh well. I will build again. Thanks!! The move went. Just trying to get back to a sense of normal now.
This is one reason I’ve been hesitant to start a build. We’re hoping to retire, sell the house, and full-time RV in a year or so. I’d need to sell or store a layout. Still thinking about a small layout, though. Good luck with the move!
2' by 3' n scale could travel with you.
What would be a great idea for you would be to build a small travel switching layout. Could be 1x3, 1x4, something like that. Switching layouts have a lot of action and would be a lot of fun to make and operate. Steve’s trains did a great video on making a travel size layout which would be perfect for the RV travel lifestyle. Just a thought.
Hi Stephen. My thinking is that you have invested too much time to scrap this layout. If you want to move it in one piece, you are going to need a minimum of four other guys (each end of the move) to get it in and out of the truck.
Unfortunately there is just no way to use this layout at my new place so it has to go. I will rebuild again. 4th times the charm right…..
looking forward to new home part 1 rebuild
Me too! Thank you!
Sorry you have to move. If I had the money and room I would buy what you got😢. Good luck on the move. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I am glad to be moving as I have finally made a dream I have had for many years a reality.
good luck on the move
Thank you!!
I like your backdrop, I am looking at a similar idea for my backdrop, good luck on the move
Glad you like it. It was pretty easy to do though it did not turn out exactly as I wanted it to but it was my first time painting something like that.
No swearing or is it how many times did you edit?😂😂
I only had to edit out one funny swear I had in there when I discovered the hidden screws. Otherwise it was all calm and smooth on my end. lol
How soon and how far are you moving? I just think it is time to start over yet again haha!
In the next week. Local. Nothing far. I think so as well. Maybe layout #4 will be the winner. lol
Go under the table with the pry bar and put the pry bar against your framing and your wall and it should pull it away
The frame is all off the wall now. I had some screws hiding behind some bracing which I found after the fact.
Thanks for sharing. Lovely looking layout. Liked and Subbed! Will be following along! Cheers, Andy
Thank you for tuning in! Glad you liked the layout.
Awesome bud
Thank you!
Hi Silver State Trains & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Silver State Trains & Friends Randy
Thanks!!
Wow! This is a beautiful layout. I’m working on a 6’x12’x4’ Ushaped Nscale, using Kato unitrack… if I’m not mistaken, the Kato turnouts isolate the switch tracks
Thank you!! Sounds like you are building a pretty nice size layout as well. Sorry for my delay In responding. Life has been crazy with the move. Kato switches do isolate the track by routing the power in the direction the switch is thrown only.
Great share layout looks awesome new here looking forward to more updates
Thanks and thank you for checking out my channel!
Cool concept, the preorder you were talking about is an atlas shay?
Thank you! Nope. The preorder is not an Atlas product. Hopefully sometime within my lifetime, I will receive it…
Love the stepped levels, looks awesome. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!! I appreciate it.
♥♥

Everyone- i buy my kato stuff straight from JAPAN PLAZA in japan- half the price of here in canada or the usa. extension turnout 3 ft wires with quick connect for 2.50 canadian.
That's a great tip. I live in UK and have just compared some prices between Japan Plaza and UK retailers, as you say there's a huge saving to be made. I intend to start building my model (my first N gauge) in the new year so I'll then look into postal charges and any taxes to pay. Thank you.
I have bought a few things straight from Japan. The only issue is the shipping. Either it is $$$ or takes forever or both. But you can find good prices.
You were right, Stephen she is absolutely Beautiful. I always thought that the Big Boy 4014 excursion set would be the ultimate set every model railroad fan regardless of the scale size would like to own. Keep up the Great work you're doing on your layout because I'm learning little by little as I watch all your videos. Have a nice Halloween I hope your kids have a lot of fun on that night I think you should dress up as either a Train Conductor or a Train Engineer and have fun with it. Take care my friend I'll talk to you soon. Bye for now
I think both of these sets would easily qualify though ultimately it is up to modeler. Thank you!! Halloween was a lot of fun.
