    NO FRED E FOGHORNS! It’s amazing what happens when you fix trouble spots. Great job.

      Thanks Derek 😀. It felt sorta strange not to have at least one #$&@🤬 in my video. I thought about dropping one at the end and say ‘Just Kidding’

      Thanks JD. Yep, no troubles on this run. Sorta strange feeling when there no foghorn. But I’ll take it…

      Thanks Dave 😀. I was happy with the install. Like I said, ballast will cover up the ugly parts.

      Thanks John 😀. It took me a while to get the track level on the incline otherwise it went together well.

      Thanks Drew 😀. I’m just adding flexibility to the layout.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m amazed that you can just rip track out and put in some switches. And to top it off, you didn’t Fred it up. Looks good!

      Thanks Mark 😀. I learned the hard way not the glue cork and track until really done building the layout. As you know, I like complexity so I keep flexibility by using brad nails on the cork and track nails. I have another double slip in my turnout box so I’m looking for a spot for him.. 🤔

      BTW, your nice gifts were in the gondola along with some old plastic wheels. Thanks for those and the useful couplers. 👍😀

    Tell me that was 1 take, and you are getting really good at track laying... wheel sets in the gondola...

    • @FredE528
      @FredE528  4 месяца назад

      Yes, just one take. Thanks. 😀. Good call on the wheel sets. 👍. Also there are the used couplers I got from Mark @ M&M Rails as a gag gift.

      Thanks Lee 😀. Not a lot happened…no 🤬 when train went over the crossing. I was happy about that.

    Fred excellent , no adult language, success, I want to add a crossover on the other side of my layout , will help get trains from yard onto the outer second main line, what dremel blade did you use to cut the track , great video

    • @FredE528

      Thanks James 😀. I was happy that trains ran well over the crossover. I use EZ Lock metal cutting 1.5” wheel on my EZ40Z 1/8” shank locking mandrel. It really only thing I use. It throws metal bits at me but I always wear safety glasses using the Dremel. If I need just a slight amount off the end of a rail then I just press end of the rail into the face of the wheel.
