Yiur N scale layout gives me so many ideas for my HO layout!!! One thing I would like to know is where on your North Yard layout would you place a clean-out track for covered hoppers, tank cars and gondolas?
@RonsTrainsNThings
@RonsTrainsNThings 4 месяца назад
Well, the REAL North yard has one on the south end, west side. For me that would be left of Attebuty grail and behind the yard office. It would connect to the yard via a track behind the RIP facility and fuel facility but in front of Attebuty grain. I don't have space for one, but it would be a nice thing to model.

You appear to have HO level separation for an N layout. Perhaps you want stools with rollers to operate on the lower level. 60" is about the highest one would want to go for an upper level.

Thanks for the update and the very complete overview of your layout. I have been watching your videos for about a year now, and find them very helpful as I am planning and beginning the building process of my layout, or should I say rebuilding process. I picked up a nice around the wall N-Scale layout last summer from a modeler in my area who was winding down his hobby activities due to age, and am incorporating it into my design. I just finished hanging, mudding, taping, sanding (lots of that), and priming my backdrops. Your videos on adding and finishing the backdrops on the new section of your layout were very helpful in that process. But I have to say, you made it look much easier than I found it. I'm sure experience had a big part to play in that. In any case, keep the videos coming!

@@RonsTrainsNThings - Thanks for the encouragement, but I'm not really discouraged, it just took a lot more mud and sanding than the way you did it. But in the end I'm pretty happy with the way my backdrops are turning out so far. But the real test will be this weekend when I plan to start painting the sky blue and fading in the white at the horizon line. I have definitely never done anything like that before, but there is a first time for everything, so we'll see how it goes. But you can be sure I'll be watching your video again before I start. Should be fun though. Learning new things and challenging yourself are some of the best aspects of this hobby, IMHO.

I love that time in history when Steam was still running and the diesels were coming of age. What are the odds!?

Nice to see how everything all fits and works together Ron. Just wondering if you ever considered making the staging yards reverse loops for all tracks to increase the length sufficiently to hold your full train consists, especially with the new staging length negotiations having been successful? It would certainly have taken more width/depth but would have had quite a few benefits if it could have been fitted.
@RonsTrainsNThings
@RonsTrainsNThings Год назад
No space for that, and once I lengthen the tracks this will work quite well.

@RonsTrainsNThings

That can be a loaded question. I have 3 and my personal favorite is the Badger 105 Patriot, double action, gravity feed. It's not super high dollar and gets the general painting and weathering done well. Here are links to my whole setup if you'd like to take a look.

Great video Ron. It's very nice to see the entire layout. I like the way you used the yards as a way to split the different scenic areas along the layout. It gives it a really good flow and adds to the illusion of traveling hundreds of miles in a few feet. I'm thinking of going double deck on my future layout. Have you had any issues with your layout since adding the second level?
@RonsTrainsNThings
@RonsTrainsNThings Год назад
Mine was 2 decks from inception. The biggest issues will be the height of your upper deck for shorter operators or viewers and your tolerance for building and using a helix. Beyond that I've had no real issues with the second deck. I know there are those who would disagree, so I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

I've been an N scaler for 25 years. I'm not likely to sell my N scale collection to purchase HO. As for why N scale, when I began it was space and portability, but now it's about how much I can fit into the space and the length of trains I can run.
