I would say NMRA guage plus maybe 5mm. Contact me on insta @nscalesunsetridge. Theres a lot to talk about and I'm glad to help

They also have rc aircraft control wire for larger scales. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you!! Ive been taking a break from the layout. But the RR fever is coming back!

Thanks for the kind words!! Check my Instagram # #nscalesunsetridge

On it!!

Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you for the kind words. See more on insta #nscalesunsetridge. Comment when your there.

I don’t have an instagram yet, but I will create one and check it out! Seriously, you have the best N scale layout I’ve ever seen. Your use of space, distance between tracks, scene detail, locomotive and rolling stock detail showed you don’t have to sacrifice quality with N scale. It’s amazing how much opportunity N scale provides in a relatively small space.

You dont need acount go to pc and type # for pictures only. Thanks again

Thank you

Thanks for commenting! Thats a overland brass i had to modify it to fit in the track spacing, only problem is Not much reference photos for detailed piping, and also i installed lighting.

Artist use carbon blocks for illustrations, comes in 3H 4H and others, look for them in art supply stores. Rub down on rails after cleaning, youll be amazed.

@@Mastertech6 Thanks for the info!! Sounds like a great system to try out!

Thank you, fade the grey with a lighter grey or white wash, then blacken it.black dust and rust powders on the top

Hi John. Thank you very much for the information. Not only locomotives but all of your cars are wonderfully weathered. I really impressed that it's not "Rust bucket" over weathering that I often see. Everything looks right to me. If you don't mind asking you one more question, are those weathering done by an airbrush? Dats

Actually you don't have to change out the wheels on most of the track work, but i did as a standard. Every car was changed to micro trains low profile plastic wheels or fox valley metal wheel sets, you get a much better running railroad with these standards set, also most of the rolling stock is a little over NMRA standards in weights.

What's your Instagram ID?

@@YankeesOutdoorAdventures #nscalesunsetridge thanks man

That’s pretty awesome dude 👌😃

Marcus, most of my turnouts i used fast track paper templates and rubber cemented pc ties to them then laid the rails directly on to the template, a lot of the turnouts i used flex track method and compared them to FT templates, this way I have nice flowing curved turnouts this equals smooth running trains, always use NMRA tool and specifications

@@Mastertech6 I just saw your response, thanks for the information

Can you give the website address for the o scale club also. Thanks jt

I don't have a tiny camera yet, I have been into racing drones (tiny whoops)lately and the cameras are getting easy, smaller and cheaper.

Fantastic that you're racing drones so now you have no excuse to get a camera.. ;-)

Thank for the nice comment.As a discussion there are a lot of benefits for code 40. #1 is scale appearance! #2 code 55 is a lot thicker from inside to outside so when frogs and points are not as "THICK" when hand assembling the turnouts and visually looks better, #3 one of my favorites is FILING. when filing all the turnouts in this yard there was a lot of fitting and grinding OMG code 40 is so much faster and easier. There was a fitting with the 3way and the double slip.#4 prototypical railroads ran heavier pound rail on the main line and lighter older rail in the yards and sidings.Thanks again for the discussion anything please feel free to ask.

John LaRocca, MDT Okay, thank you! That makes sense.

Thanks for the nice comment, in the yard i used "quick stix" and i found these to be the best as far as that subject goes. when everything is ballasted and glued this i think helps as well, on the other side of the room were it's not ballasted i have a lot of problems.Thanks again!! ~JL~,, instagram @nscalesunsetridge

Very interesting, John. I had once found a post online where a guy from the SDSONS club (San Diego Society of N Scale) mentioned they learned "the hard way" that they need to have their longest length of rail be 2ft. I have visited the museum many times, and it seems pretty well temperature controlled to me. I am hoping to be handlaying some N scale code 40 rail soon, and I'm trying to figure out how I'll manage the thermal expansion / contraction. Your comments regarding having things "locked down" with ballast is helpful. That seems to be how they do it as well.

Thanks for the nice comment, going over your channel gives some great reference, man there's a lot!!

No I think that's it,due some internal politics i think the runs up the suzi Q may be finished, contact me if you wish

Fun ride
