How To Fit Track Aligners & The Track gets Weathered On The Modular Layout Ep 7

Welcome back! In todays episode we have a few various jobs we tackle. Starting by pulling out the Dremel to get the point rods trimmed back but it didn’t quite go that smoothly….
The track gets weathered using Railmatch Sleeper Grime, Unfortunately I couldn’t record this as I did it outside and the wind was against me.
Moving onto some more fine detail painting on the Fueling point, I’m still trying to figure out a good concrete colour/look for the hard standing and once that is done we can get the Fueling point fit into its final place.
To end the video we tackle one of the jobs that I’ve been putting off for as long as possible and that is of course making the cut for the enterance/exit and getting the track aligners secured & soldered.
Please don’t forget This is all work from a beginner, I’m learning as I go. I value all comments, tips & tricks not just for me but anyone who is wanting to start the journey on model railways. This is a modular build planning to be at least 5 modules. As each module progresses and we move onto the next module we will see improvements regarding skill level.

Coming along great those track aligners are great easier than the pcb strips.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I was originally going to use PCB strips until I spotted these at the local model shop 😊

@@1fourcore agreed! They are definitely easier. Helps with alignment of the next board too, so fingers crossed I’ll have no issues when it’s time for the next one 😊
