Shocking Changes!: New Structures and Building A 3rd Layout!

Рет қаралды 334

Күн бұрын

This month, I am sharing some of the new buildings and other kits I got in including some houses, cranes, and static grass starter kit. I also showed where I installed Rix Products Telephone Poles and ran cables between each other them while sharing a Bachmann GP7 Locomotive having Soundtraxx Blunami installed in it. The last thing I shared is building a new switching puzzle layout that I will be using towards the Boy Scouts Railroading Merit Badge.
Feel free to check out my website trainfreakhobbies.com where I offer services for decoder installation and layout design including LCC equipment and signals that you can use towards your new or existing layout.

Cool that you are providing a way for some scouts to earn their Model Railroading Merritt Badge! Not one I ever earned and probably rare for most these days! What a great way to be an ambassador for the hobby!

Great update Jason, looks like a lot going on. The telephone poles look awesome!! Blunami is something I'll have to look into. Very cool puzzle for the merit badge, Awesome idea altogether!! Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend and stay safe. Happy modeling!! - Jason

Thanks! Blunami was much easier to program and JMRI wasn't needed at all. I believe it will be the future of model railroading as dead rail will be an option for bigger scales.

Thanks for the update. Agree, maybe a light weathering or dull coat to tone the colors down.

Hi Jason enjoyed the update.i actually like the coloured houses they probably just need weathering down a little. Great little project for the scouts cheers Andy

Nice update, Jason! I like those telephone poles, and that loco turned out great. I’ll have to pick your brain about Blunami at some point.

They really have changed how the Railroading Merit Badge class works, when I got it the instructor and curriculum was a joke. I knew more at 12 than he told us.

@TheTrainFreak 4 ай бұрын

Yeah, I am not sure how much of it was updated. They have a rail-fanning option and a modeling option.

what era you modeling again? For many years Victorians were made basically monotone paint for whatever reason. Usually a light off-white/cream.

I was thinking about buying a blue nami but I haven't because I like using the jmri app on my phone where I can split the screen and have the control on top and the pickups and setups on the bottom of the phone screen. Do you know if that would be a problem with the blue? Tommy?

@TheTrainFreak 2 ай бұрын

I've never tried it on a split screen. I don't use JMRI as I've installed LCC Push Buttons along parts of my layout and plan to do the rest as my budget allows.
