Просмотров 2132 месяца назад
In this video, I participated in the open house at Carquinez Model Railroad Society in running a passenger train. There were so many to see and it was so much fun seeing the various passenger and commuter trains from around the world. I saved my commuter train for last. The Legacy 10-Car San Francisco BART train. Enjoy!
Over and Under...so many trains in this mountain.

In this video, is the long-awaited progress of the first mainline track and the first test run. My sincerest apologies for the delay. I will admit that building under my layout was not easy and some areas required difficult bending and reaching. I'm so glad the hardest part is now done.👍🏾😁 I also did not add any vocal narrative so you may visually enjoy the video to the fullest. Thanks for view...

    I have a HO scale garden railway that is a small fraction of yours. I run my engines with battery power using radio control. It works good. I used some old tyco track that is rusty, and it looks prototypical (although my RR is the farthest thing from modeling anything in real life) Track maintenance involves a garden hose.

    Great video! I am a new follower for your channel. I have been building an HO Subway in my head for about 15 years now. Watching your videos has given me the push I needed to go buy some material to get started. Thank you! What did you use for the platform? You mentioned the tile, but what is under? is it that foam or wood?

    • @blakrootz
      @blakrootz 5 месяцев назад

      The entire station and platform is made of wood. On top of the platform is peel and stick adhesive floor tile. Home Depot has plenty of free samples for you to choose, which you may like. I had to choose between two and found one fairly similar to that of the flooring at Embarcadero BART Station. I eventually bought a pack and then cut it to size with a band saw. If you don't have that, you can use scissors, but it will be a bit difficult. Please keep me posted on your progress and be sure to see video one of this project of how I began. The link is in the description. Thanks for the support and subscribing. 👌🏾👍🏾😁
