BEAUTIFUL railway station gets a new platform

Third time's a charm ... or in my case the third video! That´s because it took me three videos until I have finished at least two of my platforms. This video combines the accomplishment of 4 days worth of work. Prepping the steel platform edge, getting the lanterns ready to be installed and "paving" the platform. I am also getting back to my power supply which is finally wired by my electrician.

Great work! good that you checked the lantern wiring before installing the platform top decking. The layout is looking wonderful. Love watching your progress.

@summitrailway 10 күн бұрын

Yes, luckily I followed my golden rule of double checking everything, otherwise this would have been a disaster!

Its looking really well. The track inspector did not look very pleased at the light installation part; but the Railway Managers he brought along later seemed very pleased

They are sometimes a little pessimistic but in the end they approve most of my work!

This is such a clever way of doing the platforms! I need to redo one of our platforms so will be using this method. As always, amazing work, Robert!

Looking real good Robert!! All your lighting is going to look great when completed. When can we see some dusk trains rolling?

@summitrailway 16 күн бұрын

I will reveal the lights when I get done with the second plattform. I am very confident that it will look great at night!

Nice work with the lamps👍. But, I wonder why you are not using Plastic pipes for all those wires routed under the pebbles like you did earlier with the signaling and track power supplies.👍

@summitrailway 16 күн бұрын

Over the years I tried many methods to do this, they all have positives and negatives. I settled with the simplest way as you have seen. Once I tried to use plastic pipes. It was blocked by stone and debry at the day I wanted to repair the lantern. So I was forced to remove the plattform pavment anyways to change the plastic pipe with the lantern at once...

Excellent work, Your making great progress and interesting to see how you make and install things as you build. Nice to see the track inspectors make an appearance, and looks like they have bought colleagues the electrical department inspectors with them this time!!!!

@summitrailway 16 күн бұрын

Thank you! I´ve got 5 inspectors on duty, each on it´s own Area of Expertise. They are doing a great job for the most part. The only truble I have is with my geologist chicken, it often simulates landslides especially in the big station area. I´ve got a problem with that to be honest...

There should also be a fuse at the output of the 24V power supply to protect your devices.

@summitrailway 16 күн бұрын

Between the power supply and my digital central station ther is no need for a fuse. I will incorporate some fuses in the lighting circuit!

Very good job. I also used a primer glue to fix the little stones. It's expensive but fantastic as it allow the water to drain without forming puddle. Fantastic is the iron border you used. Unfortunately I 've no iron soldering tools and experience. Why don't you protect the iron with antirust paint? Very useful the part on the electrical connection. Could you explain better the electrical supply scheme. Which kind of transformer 220v-24v are you using? I see you put many switch before the transformer and I wonder why

@summitrailway 16 күн бұрын

Thank you for your interest. I want the steel edge to rust so it gets a rust red color. It will be fine for many years even without paint since this is very thick steel and it won´t rust very fast due to the dry climate and no standing water on it. I have build a similar edge 5 years ago and beside the surface rust it is in very good shape. I made a video about the installation of my electrical supply, this might give you some answers. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mc6His-ZmNqpdXk.html The many switches in front of the transformer all have a reason. I have 2 transformer so I have two on/off switches, one for each of them. Those are mounted to the right. In the middle there are 2 breaker units, each for every transformer. And last but not least there is a RCD "Residual Current Device". Breaker units and RCD are mandetory in Germany for such a installation, those will be constantly switched on. I will use the two switches to power on or off my whole layout.

Is there a specific reason why you didn't cover the angle iron with a protective coating?

@summitrailway 16 күн бұрын

I was wondering why no one asked this question up to this video. Short answer is I want it to rust. I like the looks of the rust red steel edge and the stone paving. The steel will be fine for many many years even without paint.
