Today will be filled with Ups And Downs. I learn about 2% Inclines, and try out a new Foam Cutting Tool on my new Model Railroad Layout.

Like you get around with the foam cutter setup well worked out. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

@ScottRails Год назад

It was fun and easy.

@solargarage Год назад

Foam cutting tool looks great. Inclines are looking awesome.

@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267 Год назад

Excellent work, incline looks great, like the idea to use other materials to save money, more work to come

@tracksidemike Год назад

Great share Dave looking forward to more here. Keep up the great work. Great idea on the incline impressive 👍🏻🚂😎TSM

great work on the inclines, I'm pretty much at the same stage as you but in N gauge. subbed

Thanks Vlad. Race you to completion! hehehe.

Found this video very informative thank you. Looking forward to following the lay out build and picking up some more tips as I work on one, be it smaller, myself. Cheers Stu

Really good video. Your layout looks like it’s going to be very nicely done. I have subscribed to see your progress!

@ScottRails Год назад

Thank you. I've been watching a LOT of other's layout videos to see what works, and what doesn't. I was originally going to have two loops, but I think I'd rather have more room for towns and scenery.

Since you were able to move the track towards the edges and added the 6 inch straight piece, did you consider going up to 22 inch radius there? It would help to ease the grade and the cars would look better on the larger radius. Really nice job on cutting the foam and making the jig. This is gonna be a great layout, Dave.

@ScottRails Год назад

Damn, you pay attention way too much, lol. Do you think I would use the same space if I replace the straight section and change it to a wide enough curve that would make much of a difference? I really don't want to psch it any further out.

sorry Dave i been calling you Scott :D I "winged" my track plan- going well so far. Our layouts are similar sizes, sort of. yours is twice as big but mine is N scale, giving me twice the "space" so it comes out roughly even- so we deal with similar radius issues. I'm coming off my bench work just a little with my outer loop at the turnarounds at either end, to get a bit more radius, and also I'm hoping it will look cool. I just have to rig up a proper support for it. Anyway its an option if you want bigger radius. It's a clever and resourceful cutting method you used. Great vid!

I've been watching so many videos lately on other people's layouts, and decided that this doesn't need to be my ultimate layout, I can always build another. So I'm seeing this as a tester, and not trying to cram everything in on one go, as much as I'd like to, lol.

Great video, interesting techniques!

Great video, just ordered up some of the 4% incline as I don't have as much space as you do, I may try to add even more incline to the 4% using aa 1 or 2 percent kit also.

@ScottRails 8 месяцев назад

I was amazed at how much space you need for inclines. About 24 feet for a 2 percent just to raise it 6 inches.

When I built my layouts for my Wife And I I never used a Computer. When done You could go Half Dc And the Other Dcc as Well.

@ScottRails Год назад

I'm going to wire it with an on-off-on switch, so I can go between DC and DCC. Might need to add some red warning lights so I don't put the wrong loco on at the wrong time, lol. That could be expensive.

@NZMOPAR Год назад

Awesome Dave . Did you get the Scarm idea from my old videos

@ScottRails Год назад

Quite possibly.

@newlynnrailway Год назад

Good progress. I`m the same i`ve tried free versions of track planning but, I just can`t get into it, plus I have a mix of track so some is gona have to be free lance,, Though i`m really going to need some as a plan, maybe a lottery win and I can hire mpeterll

@FinedonNorthants 26 дней назад

Hi I am trying to fined the complete series of this layout but I cannot find anyway to see the list of videos in the correct watch order.

@ScottRails 26 дней назад

That's a fair point. I should organise better. I actually tore this down and restarted after 6 months. The inclines were causing too many problems, and I wanted two complete loops, which I now have.
