With a make-shift hot wire and the help of my wife pulsing the power we managed to rough cut the river.
I'm not sure. I had little fumes but still probably not good for you. I'm doing this in my 60'x20' shed that has exhaust fans for welding.
Thank you. With an Xmas deadline I've been working on it everyday from 7pm to 1am. Wakeup, put the kiddo on the bus, do a little before work, at work have a sidebar opened with modeling tutorials . Go home and repeat.Looks good to me. You're moving right along too! I'm jealous.
That is good. I was worried about the "S" curve you had in the front right side..... and I decided to change the track plan a little. ...
Thanks. Yeah I was looking at that when I laid the bed. It looked good on paper. I should get some cars and test it before I mold that area.That is good. I was worried about the "S" curve you had in the front right side.
Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately it's locked in. Fortunately I did change it to a 10.5 accidentally when I transferred the plans to the foam. On a side note, I tell my son all the time when he places his toy tracks that his s-curves are going to cause derailments. Must run in the family...Hi.
If not too late: In first pic where curve (spiral) comes out of tunnel at bottom at 10.5"r and transits to opposite curve of 12.5"r, can you change that and add a section of straight track (tangent) between them the length of your longest car ? Reason is, the S curve you have can cause derailments as couplers wind up going in farthest opposite directions, and when maxed out can lift cars off rails...
Perhaps replacing 12.5"r with another 10.5" will afford space for the tangent..
(If engine and cars are all short wheel base/slow running, disregard)
