New Layout Build - Laying the Mainline | BL4
The layout has now had its main mainline track loop laid and ready to be powered. Not far from trains running now. I show how I laid the track , including track preparation, sleeper respacing and more.
I hope you enjoy.

New Layout Build - Fiddle/Storage Yard | BL2
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.8 месяцев назад
I finally finished the first stage of the new layout build which is laying the track and points in the fiddle yard. A hell of a lot of track! I did take a break half way through hence the 7 month long gap since the previous upload which I apologise for! Didn’t anticipate this video being this long but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

Then l, could temporarily open it and close it for opening or closing window. Plus in case of fire (God forbid ) you could more easily get out the window. Take care and have fun!

    • @belsteadlanemodelrailway
      @belsteadlanemodelrailway 8 месяцев назад

      They’re pretty equally spaced, 30mm rail to rail if memory serves, apart from the short sidings which are a bit closer because of the settrack curve I used to level it out. Given some of them aren’t dead straight, as long as the joins for the lift out are spot on, level and the wagons are happy which they are, I’m happy. It’s the fiddle yard so the track doesn’t need to look 100% 99% will be fine… the scenic section will be glued, and will take longer as that’ll be 100% guaranteed.
