Shuttle route with switch for Märklin H0 with extended event control of the Central Station 3

In this video, we build this beautiful snowy winter landscape. Everything started on an empty board on an insulation panel from the hardware store, where we simply built a semi-circle with a switch. Now two locomotives can shuttle from left to right.
So, I've already prepared some things. I've completed the base for this diorama using a lot of leftover materials from the workshop: old boxes or old diorama parts that I've trimmed a bit. From all this, this stable base was created.
Since this layout will later rest on a table plan, we can't drill any holes to pull cables through later. We need to finalize this now. For this, we need some cables, a soldering iron, some shrink tubes, and we can neatly arrange them.
And when the cables are neatly arranged, the next part is about creating the landscape for the layout. For this, we need this terrain crepe. We just need some hot glue and patience and glue this crepe on one side. I'll start here, and you can apply it generously. Be careful with your fingers; the glue is hot. It's best to use something to press it down, like a small brush, so you don't burn your fingers.
I've also taped off the tracks so that when we apply plaster, it doesn't get on the tracks. I also unscrewed the signal. You can remove it from its base by removing these small plates, and then you can easily remove the signal. This way, it's easier to plaster around it.
For the base, I'm using a model railway assembly spatula. It can be worked with for an extended period and is mixed with water just like plaster.
And when everything is plastered, the plaster needs to dry. In the meantime, you can think about the decoration. I've brought some figures, for example, small figures carrying Christmas trees. We also have little ice skaters; we'd need a lake for them. I also brought snow-covered cars; they're already a bit snowed in. In theory, we can also make these ourselves by gluing them with white glue and then snowing them.
I tried this on a small ÖBB locomotive, which suffered a bit during assembly, but it's my test locomotive. We can see how it gets snowed in. We can do this later with a flocking material. The same applies to trees. You can buy snow-covered trees, but the ones we have here are very lightly snowed. You can't see much powder snow on this tree, but we can also do this ourselves with this icing sugar.
And when the plaster is dry, we use a bristle brush and snow paste to create beautiful little snow piles and, for example, snow-covered roofs. We'll also work on the people to create a winter wonderland. You could also use a spatula for the house to apply more broadly.
After countless brush strokes, your layout should look something like this. I applied it very thickly to create a heavy fresh snow landscape. You can, of course, use less, but this way, you get a real winter landscape.
Next, opinions differ: first glue the layout and flock or first glue the trees. I've already placed some trees and glued some of them. I'll flock from the side with a spray can. Otherwise, you can first glue and then work with the snowflakes, wait for everything to dry, and then place trees after one or two days. You'll have to experiment to see what works best for your layout.
Then it's time for the snowflakes, which works similarly to grassing. First, apply glue to the layout, in this case, snow glue, and then use a grass spreader. You could also use a static grass applicator, but first, I'll generously apply this snow glue to the layout. It's essential to shake the snow glue beforehand. Then, with a brush, apply it generously across the entire layout so that you can later powder it with icing sugar and this snowflake material. Make sure to let it dry thoroughly, as you can vacuum off the excess, for example, on the tracks. If it's not dry enough, you'll vacuum off all the lovely material.
And when it's dried, your winter diorama probably looks just like mine, with many small details like our little market, our skiers getting ready for their ski trip on the trail, our ice skaters, and many small details like the snow-covered VW Beetle or the outing with the dog. And, of course, the beautiful shuttle with the two locomotives stopping at this platform and stopping on the other side. Have fun recreating it! Everything you need is linked in the description below this video. There's also an extra video on building the electrical and electronic components on my RUclips channel.

Sehr gut! Schön daß es hier weiter geht. Hoffentlich kommt noch ein wenig mehr zur Ereignissteuerung.

[@joachim2135]

Einfach toll, dass es wieder solche informativen Erklärvideos gibt. Die Videoreihe von damals habe ich sehr zu schätzen gewusst. Bitte weiter so, lieber Michael Praetorius :-)

[@jorg6953]

Ihr macht sehr schöne Videos. Da kann man schön nach arbeiten. Es würde mich freuen, wenn ihr allerdings mal eine pendelst Strecke mit zwei Bahnhöfen und jeweils zwei Gleisen programmieren würdet.

[@TheFlorindel]

Schön, dass es nach einem Jahr Pause endlich weitergeht - wenn auch nicht auf dem Märklinkanal. Von mir aus dürfte es mit der Ereignissteuerung aber durchaus noch etwas komplizierter werden. Was mich mal interessieren würde, wäre das Auslesen der Lok auf dem Kontaktgleis mit anschliessenden lokabhängigen Funktionsaufrufen ausgelöst durch Kontaktgleisereignisse.

[@m1dnightcrisis]

das geht mit der cs3 leider nicht. um die lok zu erkennen, müsste ein gleisplan definiert sein, anhand welchem sich die cs3 die einzige lok auswählt, die das kontaktgleis auslösen kann. diese funktion fehlt aber, deswegen ist das überhaupt nicht realisierbar.
einfach traincontroller, itrain, oder rocrail auf einem computer laufen lassen. da ist das alles möglich

@@m1dnightcrisis Doch, mit der CS3 sollte das gehen. Siehe auch CS3 Workbook, Kapitel "Ereignisgesteuerte Zugverfolgung". Ich habe es selbst noch nicht ausprobiert, wäre aber mal gespannt es einen Profi machen zu sehen.

Ein frohes neues Jahr wünsche ich dem Kanal. Ich bin durch Zufall auf diesen Kanal gestoßen und bin schlichtweg begeistert, wie gut die Elemente der Digitalisierung erklärt sind. Das ist mir natürlich auch ein Abo wert! Ich freue mich auf die folgenden Videos! 👍

[@modellbahnagenda]

Klasse gezeigt 👍👍👍

[@awcw5489]

Funktioniert das nicht einfacher mit Makrosteuerung?

[@matthiasmuller4847]

Funktioniert das auch mit der cs2? Fragender spielbahnergruss Matthias

[@Modelrailroad]

Nein, nur als Pendel mit einem Zug.

[@fokusnikfim]

Hallo. Video Super good.🛤️🚅🚌👍👍👍.......FIM👮🚂🤚

[@opelmerivaa]

Hallo zusammen

[@Maschinengirl]

ist doch von Märklin TV geklaut

[@Modelrailroad]

Rate mal wer dahinter steckt :-) ?
