The Longvallon RR

[Christiaη]

Hello Happy Members !
I built a little H0 scale pizza layout (diameter: 40"). The trains run on Trix C track (code 83) made in Germany. A few photos:

Boyz are back in town !

Once you have gone around it, this kind of layout is no longer of much interest...
It was completely dismantled. The dragons, dinosaurs, cacti and rails have been carefully stored in their boxes.

The New Longvallon RR

Hello Happy Members ! The New Longvallon RR is on its way. Just a little H0 scale layout (72"x34"). As usual I use Trix C track (code 83). As always, all your comments, advices and criticisms will be greatly appreciated. As usual, you can also laugh if you want...:p More infos very soon !

Because I had enough track section, I rebuilt the first green layout. Just one track (Ø 32 1/2").

I changed my mind a bit... So it's the latest version of the very famous Longvallon RR. Have fun!

 

[Chrιstιaη]

The layout will expand a bit...

Ready to work !

I have a few ideas for the track plan. What's the best ? Thanks for your replies.

Plan C as mentioned at the coffee shop.

 

[Chrιstιaη]

As requested, plan C (more or less). I'm very pleased with the result.

Christian -- Do another turnout on the left side to the center - like the one you have!

 

[Chrιstιaη]

Good idea. I'm working on it.

Unfortunately it doesn't work.

 

[Chrιstιaη]

The first video. Have fun !

 

[BigGRacing]

Looks great Christian!
Did the switch on the left side short out or physically not fit in?

A drawing explains the problem better than me:

I would extended both those turnouts with straights personally and I think that was what was meant previously.

 

[Chrιstιaη]

Good idea...but I run out of Trix turnouts.
Action on the famous (more or less) Longvallon RR !

I decided to change the wiring of the layout. I need to electrically separate the two ovals if I want to run two trains in opposite directions. So I bought rail joint isolators for Trix C track . Hope I'm clear...but I'm not really sure. A drawing explains things better than me.

I changed the wiring slightly this morning and also checked the insulation between the two ovals. Everything is fine.
