I really like your multi-level and many train tracks. To the other more realistic modeler, not me, I can only bet they think your missing a lot and have to many trains and tracks. As of see a few model train set up on KZfaq you can do what you want. If it about the trains, then run the trains, if it about the scenery go for it. For me I was so often hampered by the scenery point I lost interest in it years ago. Now I hope to have a set up in a few weeks and it will be a train running set up....

@17designs 5 жыл бұрын

@@kevinlilly7406If you are using TMCC or LEGACY keep in mind that a second level will add radio interference to the track below. By adding sheet metal underneath the upper level track that is grounded to the same outlet that powers your track you can resolve this issue. See my earlier videos for how this is done.

I see you have the fastrack fastened to the plywood. Are you using some sort of sound deadening material under the track?

@17designs 4 жыл бұрын

That's correct. No. I use nothing. I am cool with the sound. Since the scenery is complete you pretty much enjoy the sound of the locomotive and the rattling of the cars.

What is the sheet metal underneath the track for??

@17designs 4 жыл бұрын

It is grounded to the house ground on the same electrical outlet that powers the TMCC and eliminates the radio interference that could cause the train below to stop working.

Beautiful layout love the Dept 56 houses. How do you reach center of layout, are there access hatches?

@17designs 5 жыл бұрын

Hatches would have been nice but the underside framing wouldn't allow for it. I walk over the layout like Godzilla. It's a challenge and a few hours of climbing on and off the layout feels like a complete workout!

Thanks! I've been collecting since 2003 so the cost of the trains has been spread out. It is not so bad if you collect a little bit at a time and you focus on sales. My labor is free!

Just wondering, how do you program the switches to automate the running of 4 trains of different lengths and sections of rail of different lengths simultaneously?

@17designs 4 жыл бұрын

@@crookeddealer7026 I created 4 distinct lines that are interconnected that way any engine can brings it haul from the top level down to the bottom level and everything in between. Nothing is pre-programmed but I do use a hand-held TMCC controller to change switches, shunt, adjust speeds, etc. I also have a few side tracks off the main line that allows me to alternate which engine is running.

It is a basement layout. I just laid the track on the floor and let my dog chase the train. Once I figured out the outer track I worked in 2 Wyes, a small yard and saw what was left over for upper and lower levels. I wish I had more space for sidings!!
