Minor Foam Delay For A Good Reason
I had to do some cleaning and straightening in the train room and adjacent room, before starting on the foam. Here’s what I found and the reason for the delay.

Test Run On The New Curves

I just finished installing the new curves, to get rid of the O54 in the middle main, mixing O96 and O72 in the outer main and eliminating the straight pieces in the two outer mains.

A Quick Update On The New Main
Просмотров 38814 дней назад
I finally got the third main running. I put almost all of the accessories on the shelves. I’m getting the rest of my O27 track out and cleaned up in a few days. Foam, proper wiring and scenery will start the first week or so of November. Enjoy.
Track Update
Просмотров 22721 день назад
I completed the inside third main. Menard’s O72 and O54 hybrid curves. Nothing is wired or fastened down, yet. I’ll get it running before I start lifting the track to add foam and then on to scenery. Hopefully, it will be somewhat ready for the Hanukkah/Christmas season.

    Shorter rail cars wouldn’t require such big curves. You have a lot of square feet there. Track does not appear fixed down to table top.

    • @johnandrus3901
      @johnandrus3901 Час назад

      I see what you're saying. I like running the passenger trains, though and they look real good, going around big curves. A lot of the older, post-war steam engines are top-heavy and will tip over on the shorter curves, so this helps them to stay on the track, at slightly higher speeds.. The track is fixed, the table tops are not. I like and appreciate your comment. Either way, I like constant running and the bigger curves just make the trains look a bit better.

    I've got the layout pretty much cleaned-up, with everything possible put in containers and on shelves. I'll probably get to the foam sometime this week. We'll see if I can get the slot cars running. I need to get the track connections a little tighter, without breaking any tabs. The track is going on 60 years old, so it can be a bit brittle. Stay tuned.

    The wide curves are a must for those long passenger cars so they don’t hang out beyond the track. But that requires a lot more real-estate as in a entire basement as shown.😊 the inside loop wouldn’t look as good with same trains.

      Yes, they are. That old Winner set runs fast on very little voltage. It weighs very little and It’s hard to keep on the track with standard curves. The original transformer is housed in a small, lithographed building and is basically on/off. It’s pretty nice for being 93 years old, though.
