Nate’s O-Scale Wall Shelf Layout

If i can’t get it to work then I also ordered big boys helper, 6-28330 and matching tender.

I think that will be a serious let down after watching a steamer run.

 

[Iron Horseman]

it’s only a little bit and it’s coming out of the turn so 4 spots in the room.

Sorry, for some reason the forum won't let me add this to my prior message.

It's only 4 spots if one always wants to run the same direction. Which is not necessarily good for the loco. I'm guessing to run the other would be 4 more spots.

The nose or the cab?

It’s the nose at the tip of the catwalk. Maybe a 1/4. Maybe I’ll just dig out the drywall lol it’s an old house so the drywall is like a 1/2 thick

Question for you guys. I can run 2 locomotives simultaneously on the same track with the Tmcc cab1 remote right? Engine “1” then engine “2” on remote?

Easy enough to patch when the time comes, just sayin'

Yes, provided they are both TMCC locomotives. Program them separately so that you know their engine numbers before running them together.

Also, without having a siding it can be tricky trying to keep the locomotives from running into each other when you stop or start them. You must be quick and sure with the cab remote.

A siding? The won’t run into each other. They will end up pushing/pulling the other one though. I’m talking about having 2 engines pulling cars. Steam and a diesel right behind.

I miss understood, you mean two engines pulling the same train. forgive me.

All good. My question is how do I set that on the remote? “Eng 1” then hit eng 2” then go, or?

 

[Bruette]

I'm not familiar with programing with the TMCC system.

I would think drywall in an older house would be 5/8" thick. Any older and it would be slat and plaster! Ha. For a 1/4" hit zone, digging out little slots would be the easiest thing to do. Also easy to fill and fix if you change your mind later.

That very well might be a solution. I bought a bunch more track. I’m going to play around with it some more and see if I can get that big steam engine to work. I got a diesel on it no problem. When the track straightens out it’s all the way against the wall I have plenty of room to move it out away from the wall.

Yea unfortunately it’s not that easy because I have that closet making it a royal pain. I think I’m on to something though so it might work.

Well I got my diesel in the mail today. Goes around the track no problem.

Tunnel through the closet instead of going around?

Thank you sir.

Your a bad influence! Not a bad idea but my wife would kill me haha

 

[GazooRC]

My aux water tender came today. Big boy is going to look good with these 2.
What’s the politically correct way for the work light to be on the tender? Front or back? I’ve seen it both ways.
