Pls extend beyond the loops. Great idea on self closing sprung turnouts. Oh, u may want to paint the trestles if u hvn't done that yet as weather will ruin the bare wood. Light color will b best so it won't heat up n peel off the paint.
Great ideas. Very inspirational, I'm doing something like this to my sideyard in G scale for the kids in the neighborhood in an attempt to spire some intrest with them. I think this was the best presentation I've seen on such an adventure too. Thanks for sharing ann inspiring me 😊
Thanks! I know the treated wood may only last about 5 years, but then it will probably have been enough for me by then. I just like the look of the wood, and these ties have to be quite large for 7/8th scale compared to typical G scale track, even for a 2-foot narrow gauge.
Nicely done!! Good looking layout. I have the Accucraft 7/8 scale forney. And have 4 Phil's Narrow gauge cars. 2 gondolas that are modified from his flatcar kits. And 2 boxcars . I like your boxcar. I've been wanting to scratch build a car like that but haven't been able to get the raw materials. I'm planning on getting more of Phil's Narrow gauge kits soon.
Thanks! The Forney looks like a great locomotive. The Emma is pretty hefty and puts out 60 psi, but the short wheel base and lack of pilot wheels causes it to probably bob and weave more than the Forney I would think.
@@williamlawson6966 the forney is about 35lb s fully loaded. But it requires at least a 10 foot radius curve!! You can get away with 8 feet. But the bigger the better. Mine is the butane fired one. My son has the coal fired version. The waddle a little bit going down the track. If you go to Steamaholic RUclips channel, he has a video of me and my forney with an 8 car train from last year at Lodi
