Nice work. I use the same method for elevated curves. Only difference is that I do HO. Much better then using plastic styrene shims. Thanks for sharing. -Kris

Nice! .030 sheet styrene cut to 1/8 strips works well too. In N scale, .030 styrene = 4 3/4" height in the real world.

I see you put the push pins in the holes on the track. Might not it have been better to secure the track by placing the pins more toward the inside rail between the ties so to get your super elevation? Pushing the pins all the way down or shim them maybe. Just a thought.

The only concern I would have is the use of regular white glue to attach your track. White glue is water soluble, if you’re going to ballast the track at a later date, wetting and gluing the track during ballasting could potentially soften the glue holding the track down and disturbing the alignment before it hardens again. Caulk or yellow carpenters glue would be a more secure alternative. Just my two cents.
@nscaler454
@nscaler454 2 жыл бұрын
That has certainly crossed my mind. I hope to get some ballast soon and I can do a test and find out.

I agree. Personally, I use Loctite Power Grab Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive (clear) for cork foam and track. It dries clear. You can reposition it for up to 15 minutes and cures in 10-12 hours. It cleans up with water but after it sets, water won't bother it. I comes in tubes for caulk guns but I use the squeeze tubes.

Very informative video. I’m an N scale modeler myself. Once I have my permanent layout set up for the staging area, I will build the second level & have an incline/decline set up having a grade of 1.25% so when I have long freights running it will have an easier uphill climb & downhill descend to the staging area. My N scale railroad is the Pacific West Coast Railroad.

Going with the minimum grade and largest radius' possible is always better for train operation. Sounds like a great layout

I'm subscribed, and have been enjoying your videos for a while now,;you do some great work My question involves grade transitions. If I understand correctly, you went from 0% (flat) to 2% incline, and the flex track blended that transition sufficiently, without problems? Thanks!

Great video. I'm looking to build in N scale using Kato Unitrack. What are your thoughts re roadbed? Do you think it's necessary or could the Unitrack be mounted and glued directly to the foam with no issues? Kato introduced a flex track option and there will be parts of the layout where this will be used and likely I will use cork roadbed for these areas. Thanks 😊🙏

I wouldn't bother with cork when using Unitrack. I would glue it straight to the foam board.

Discovered your channel recently, watched all videos, following along: exactly the examples and tips I need in starting my N layout! Got some of the 2% WS Incline/Decline sets and am wondering at 2.5" wide: is that OK for 2 parallel tracks? Seems a bit tight especially in a curve, but 2 of the WS next to each other is space-hogging overkill. Any suggestions? Keep 'em coming!
@nscaler454
@nscaler454 2 жыл бұрын
I would want at least a 1.5" track spacing, which might be doable on a single strip of foam if you put the track to the outside edges.

Nice video and inspiration for me as I develop my N scale layout. Question - When you ballast this curve, how will you keep the ballast from falling in between the folds of the risers and inclination sets?
@nscaler454
@nscaler454 Жыл бұрын
I will plaster over the risers before ballasting.
@garypatterson9593
@garypatterson9593 Жыл бұрын
Once you've laid the risers and before laying roadbed or track place masking tape over the risers. Or use plaster cloth after you've laid track. Either option works.

Would a thicker tape like duct tape work for elevating the rails with fewer layers, or is it more difficult to work with?

duct tape would be too thick and inconsistent. I don't think you'd ever get a good gradient.

Hi, I was wondering if there was a reason you didn't put the tape under the cork?
@PKCrouse
@PKCrouse 2 жыл бұрын
Yep, under the cork does make it a bit easier.
@nscaler454
@nscaler454 2 жыл бұрын
Because the cork is split in half which means one side of the cork gets superelevation while the other lays flat, so the track may not get the correct camber. With the tape on top, you have better control of getting the edge of the outside rail ties to sit on top and thus giving the precise superelevation that you desire

By chance did you solder your joiners on your curve before bending it in position?

Nope. I thought about that after I bent the track. I figured I should try soldering 2 pieces of flextrack together before trying to bend them.

Why didn't you put the painters tape under the cork?
@nscaler454
@nscaler454 Жыл бұрын
because the cork gets laid in two pieces, so only the outer side would be elevated and the track would not sit flat on it. Also since cork is soft, when doing the transitions, it might not give a flat grade

Super elevated is tricky in model trains, tad too much and entire train will fall towards low side. (Long trains)

I'd say very good, especially as it gets thicker. It's not as dense as extruded foam, and when you put some cork on it, it dampens things even more.

Foam Nails? - All those Foam Nails are is nothing more than common "T" pins of which you can pick up at almost any local sewing , craft or fabric store including Walmart. - I just bought two more packages of them to use on my own N-Scale layout today at walmart for $1.44 a package. - I'm not about to pay a higher price from Woodland Scenics hobby shops, from Amazon, or from other Model Railroad hobby shops under the brand name of Foam Nails and then have to wait for them to be shipped to me. - Not when I can pick them up today myself at Walmart under the common definition of "T" Pins. - They should be located in isle 32 at most Walmart stores.
