Cement is a great base. My 1/4” minus roadbed also required renewing annually. I staggered joints be 6-8” so rail joints were parallel only at switches. Prevents vertical and horizontal kinks and eliminated derailments. Very extensive layout you created. Well planned!
Hi. There are a few videos on my channel about the MD DCC switch meters. Also some videos on the Trainli website and RUclips channel. If you have any questions, happy to call and discuss. Thanks for watching!!
Absolutely Awesome! 🎉. Can't wait to see more progress. I'm in the UK building a mere 30ft loop & that seems difficult enough 😂. Love the bathroom tiles idea for the viaducts. The concrete idea is great for big layouts too.
Awesome video! Nice work there and I love how you explain the process! Do you know if the Gary Raymond s mi scale flange wheelsets run good on your nickel coated brass track there? I change out all my LGB plastic wheel sets for Gary Raymonds wheel sets as I love the scale flanges as I’m not a big fan of the deep flanges and LGB wheels. My stuff runs well on LGB brass track, so I would assume that it would run OK on your nickel plated Brass track there. Just checking on that. Awesome work and please keep up the wonderful videos!
Hi, thanks for watching. Those wheels should work. The rail is the same dimensions as the LGB track. Very important that you have a very smooth roadbed, nice cures and level, straight turnouts with the smaller flanges.
@@alpinewesternpacificrailro627 yes, sir, you’re absolutely correct on switch is being level! Also, I had found out on the LGB switches I had to space out with a shim, the guard rails for the frog to proper NMRA standards! The scale flange wheels do like to pick frog points once in a while on the diverging side, if you do not shim the guard rail! again, I appreciate your info and your awesome videos!
Hello/ Gruezi, Hawley, How can you lay this curb on a side slope, the machine is far to wide, with the wheels for a roadbed on a steep slope or narrow valley? Do you first build up the ground to the elevation you want, then compact the base, pour the roadbed, and then build the slope after it. So essentially much of the landscape is all created? I admire your courage of putting a double slip switch in the middle of a tunnel! one of the most derailment prone pieces of trackwork and it'll be hidden. I hope that works. I know these are excellent turnouts, but that is one area I wouldn't cover; also nice to see trains maneuver through that. I hope you'll give us an update on how that works. The view from up on the double 8 area is spectacular!! What an amazing thing to get to build a layout many of us dream about creating, with miles of track to follow trains along. I appreciate all the tips on ways to build portals and bridges, with the sheet tiles and back splashes, and also tips for things like drainage between the tracks, one of those things people don't think about until it's too late. Do the drains collect the water someplace, or pour into existing waterways you have? Good source for water for your plants. Thanks for sharing the updates on this amazing railway!
Hi, thanks for watching. I build the base first, then the concrete curbing and then I back fill or dig away from the roadbed. The water drains into natural run-off areas.

Fantastic. Great detail, and I enjoyed seeing the materials used. Could you show more about the switch and switch motors?

Very well made video
Have gotten several emails from it.
Just discovered your videos fantastic. Well done
Thanks for watching!
Congrats... on pretty much everything.
Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching! you can always contact me if you have any questions.
@@alpinewesternpacificrailro627 thank you
Wow!! I’m just starting a large, elevation challenged layout in the north bay, this has been extremely helpful. Thx!
Thanks for watching! let me know if you need any help or questions!
Very informative. Thanks for sharing. Looks like an incredible layout.
Thanks for watching!
Very impressive. I don't know if I am that creative. I am planning a backyard railway.

Thanks for sharing this information. Very interesting video and great insight. Just incredible and thanks 😊

“Tcha-tching”, expensive hobby, I’d say. Price of Trackage alone can make your eyes water!
Never the less, great impressive job!
Like all hobbies, you can do inexpensive or the skies the limit. Thanks for watching!

Who makes that double switch?
Hi. Trainli can get them. Thanks for watching!
Hace you thought about a traveling seminar.
Sure, always happy to talk about trains! Thanks for watching!
Your camera person should be fired. If you point at something, THE CAMERA SHOULD SHOW WHAT YOU ARE POINTING AT!!!
Thanks for watching
Agree 100%
Hard to find good help no a days! It was her only day.
