    I like this series. It would be nice if the title of the videos had the episode number - makes it easier to determine where you are at in the series.
    Personally I am not interested in train sets but instead am wanting to do a medieval diorama. Regardless though, these videos give me tons of great ideas so I love to watch them.
    Another thought: Luke Towan did a diorama with an electric remote controlled jeep that might make a great addition to a railroad setup and could be used even to create a horse and buggy remotely controlled for non-modern stuff like I am interested in.

    Hello, I love your videos! So insightful and smartly put together. I am currently planning to purchase the tracks (C-track) from Märklin to use your design of Martinstown. However, I am having a hard time figuring out what tracks to use underneath the station area? It´s very hard to see what kind of track numbers you have used, because the upper layer i s covering for the track numbers underneath. Do you have another layout where these tracks are easy to see? Especially the short stubby tracks are more of a guesswork figuring out? Thanks!

  • @railway187
    @railway187 2 года назад

    Hi there, a very good video, thanks 🙏 I have a question: I use Trix C-track which is very similar to Märklin C-track. I am considering to add a branchline extension to my layout but the track is in an oval, so no possibility to connect a new branch line to it. So I will have to remove some track and put in a turnout to make a new branchline. These C-tracks are however ballasted with Noch ballast pebbles and I am afraid I would have to remove several tracks before I could put in a turnout and reconnect it all. I al afraid the connection system of these C-tracks will make it difficult to reconnect it all to the existing tracks.
    Do you have experience with such procedure and maybe some advice? I would be very grateful. Thanks!

    The brand McK are rerealising their Litra ME which is a very sort after model and this time they are making two of them in a NRFAB (Nordic re-finance AB) livery which I thought you might be interested in as it’s the one they run in Sweden but if you are interested you have to be fast when it comes out as they normally sell out in about 6 months because thay only produce 500 (100 in the NRFAB livery) thay are also using the same manufacture as Hnoll (dekas) so that may give you a sense of the quality :)

      Hi! Yes, a thin corklayer (2-3mm) would reduce sound effeciently. It will not have any other negative effects on the results (as the clearence in the lower level) I think.
      Yes. The points with having also the lower level on raised Plywood are as follows: 1) Less noice from running trains. 2) No ”difficult” transistions between table top and the 4mm Plywood. 3) Avoid that some parts of the layout are ”forced” flat due to tracks on that level.

      Hi! Thank you for this feedback. Yes, a maximum of 4-5% is a good advice. Preferrably even 2-3%, but it’s often hard on small layouts.
      7.9%? It can be that the height on some track sections is wrong. I’ll look into it.

      Hi Martin, the folded dogbone is a wonderful concept and it gives a remarkably long run of track in a small space, but regrettably my locos cannot handle the inclines which I calculate to be about 1:21cm which is too steep: they are the British equivalent of the ones you were running (maybe Swedish trains are just stronger). i have been racking my brain to come up with a plan that solves the problem but keeps the essence of the idea, but so far no good. Many thanks anyway. Steve.

    Tack för de inspirerande filmerna. Blir verkligen sugen på starta med modelljärnväg. Men jag undrar om de där digitala start set:en kan hantera äldre analoga lok (har ett par jag ärvt som funkar). Eller måste jag köpa ett analogt start set för att kunna använda dom?

    Hi from Spain, could you give us the name of track adhesive. The one you pure with the Silicon gun. Thanks.

      It was latex adhesive. In the UK the brand is Copydex.

      @Frank De Ruiter yes the Brand does matter because in Spain acrilic kit doesn't exist, and the copydex seems to me very expensive to use like that.... If I have the Brand and model of glue . Maybe could find the same product that sells un Spain.

      @@robverheij561 Märklin has been using the third rail system since 1934 when they invented HO, in analog systems it has many advantages, in digital the main one is that you can do loops very easily, something very complex with two rail system because it would create a short circuit.
