Chris wants more hobby time!!!
They are 6s, and will be slow speeds as this is meant for a yard entry from outside track…
Yeah, I know that feeling, took me day's to get it right, if the track isn't shiny the solder won't adhere properly, I also found that I was using the wrong kind of solder. (Never thought it would make a difference, but it does).Just tried soldering for the first time, might be my last lol. Watched some videos, thought I followed along well enough, but nothing good came of it…. At least I didn’t melt any ties
I would try running some trains over it first see if it causes problems, I have similar gaps and have had no issues with them, and it gives a satisfying "clack" noise as it would at any real track join, which I quite like.View attachment 141475View attachment 141476View attachment 141477
Wanted to get track secured to gate so I can use it without worrying about jostling track…. All the joints look alright except the one circled in red, gap is a little excessive. Was thinking about a little JB Weld and filing to proper track alignment. Is there a better method to making sure this joint is good to run on?
Get a free rolling wagon and run it back and forth over the gap see what happens, if it has a severe jolt or jumps as it goes over the gap, then you'll have to do something about closing it up, (unless your track isn't level both sides) if not I can't see it being an issue.My biggest fear is wheel wear, hate to be laying track that causes excessive wear that has me replacing wheels more often than I should…. Did run a car over it, seems a smooth enough transition, definitely a clack
Seems weird it just quit working. Is there a track short?Man was I disappointed last night, wanted to test the track over the gate with a running loco, but my EZ Command won’t turn on. Tried batteries and still no go. Guess I order a new system, wanted to anyways, but was hoping to hold off on that until I get further into the process. Oh well, crap happens, do what you gotta do. I would feel more comfortable knowing track is good to run before I permanently placed more…
Anyone close, that may have a spare throttle you could "borrow" for a while ?lol The ol drop and kick did come to mind Even with no power to track it should come on, but I got nothing, it’s a handheld cordless…
Hope your wallet say's Thank YouOpened up the back of the unit, found a little corrosion on battery connection point, cleaned up and working again
