    Signal and turnout control options

    Frederick, Its been a while since this conversation ended. However, I’ve moved across country and started a new layout build since then and I’m to the point I’m wiring up for block detection. Might have some RRCirkits questions as I go if you’re still able to assist. Thanks Steve

    Steve's SOCAL BNSF layout

    I actually build this one in sections but it was more like a basic layout with additions I added on over time. I’ve learned a lot and really think I could do more this time if I did one layout plan from scratch instead of addon after addon to an existing layout. If I do build a new one it will...

    Weight of Rolling Stock

    Steve's SOCAL BNSF layout

    A short run by I did and uploaded, clip contains some patched boxcars I did by hand (last 4 cars before the KCS). I was going to wait to upload until I had a few more clips but I went well over 10,000 views on the YouTube channel so I had a reason to do it sooner. https://youtu.be/o-m8z4kp6Zo...

    Steve's SOCAL BNSF layout

    Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to get some more videos up with more of the overall layout instead of just run bys too. Thanks, N scale has really come a long way. Thanks for the comments, probably should have some towers. I have a couple on the side, maybe I can incorporate into the...

    Super Elevated Curves?

    Tony, I just watched this video the other day on you tube. I found it pretty helpful as I plan to do this on my next layout. This is for HO but if not modeling HO you could probably increase or decrease the size of the material depending on your scale. https://youtu.be/q0uDy59QFOE Steve Sent...

    Train Painting inside Carl's Jr.

    Yeah it's interesting placement for sure. Love the SP loco though, would have been a work of art all by itself! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Train Painting inside Carl's Jr.

    I couldn't remember the name of the city because we had just pulled off the 60 west freeway to watch the eclipse. The photo details say the location says "city of industry" - another awesome feature of the iPhone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
