N Scale Chicago & North Western Harvard Sub

Күн бұрын

Episode 16 of the Chicago & North Western Harvard Subdivision in N Scale. The Harvard Subdivision imagines a world where the CNW is still operating today, and features modern operations in N scale. This episode we don't run any trains, but that's because we're too busy building! With the wall finally finished, I get the remaining benchwork down for the first level, get all the foam laid down, get all the backboards up, and continue laying roadbed and track as far as I can. Huge construction progress in this update!

Great minds think alike! A couple of years ago I installed a drop-gate on my N scale operation. I used a "piano" hinge that is as long as the drop section is wide and then two barrel bolts on the other end for security, one towards each edge of the drop section. That made sure that the two edges on that end stayed aligned. It's worked well for many years and it looks like yours will as well. Keep up the good work and I'll be watchin'!

Awesome! Switching to two bolts on the other end is my planned fix, so I'm glad to hear it worked well for you

Chicago and Northwestern operates on the left track. Penn Central operates on what's left of the track.

Following your progress from some time now, looking great. Can you show an entire picture of your track plan in one of the future videos? Thanks! I was sort of confused until this video how it was going to actually work, I guess the other room is an office, etc... and NOT part of the train room :)

Great suggestion - I'll make that part of the next video for sure. In the meantime, here's an upload of the most recent version of the trackplan: bit.ly/CNWLayoutPlan

@@cnwnscaledo you have a diagram that shows dimensions? Also, what software did you use and for what OS? I have a Mac myself.

@@cnwnscale So where are the lift outs on the plan? And no continuous running, point to point or am I wrong. Either way great work. I am enjoying seeing your progress. Keep it up.

Do you have list of brands for the supplies you use? Specifically road bed and flex track. It has been a few years since I have done any building. I lost all my notes from my previous train club in my last move. Very nice looking layout. I hope to start working on mine later this year. I don’t have as much room as you have.

I use Peco Code 55. I find it has a pretty realistic looking size to it, but with Peco's structure that includes a rail component UNDER the code 55, it makes it much easier to work with in my opinion in shaping curves. The roadbed is Midwest Products cork roadbed for n scale. Hope that helps!
