Hi, many thanks for your interest and question, building where obtained off Ebay, some from japan, others are hornby and also some are metcalfe cardboard kits(stations) which I assembled and also wired with cold running led's
actually Im still working on my layout and i have not even started ive got my track and so on but im still working on a track plan but ill see what i can show you.
@RokusDragon Hi again, I'm in the dark as you have not put any pictures of you layout on youtube so I cannot realy see how your yard looks like. If you can upload some pictures or a video I may be able to help you sort the problem, kind regards Ray.
oh so it is kato. I have a problem with kato . when ever my engines pull into a yard my engines just stop short.almost like it cuts the locomotives power.
@RokusDragon Hi there, sorry to learn about your problem, as you loco's appear to run ok on the rest of you track layout, it seems likely there is a fault with you wiring or perhaps points. Are you wired for dc or dcc operation? regards Ray.
Hi EWS37109, many thanks for you interest and comment, I see you have made quite an interesting n gauge layout which is very good. Perhaps you will post updates on your OO gauge layout project as it makes progress, nice to see a younger modeler with interest in a fantastic hobby, regards Ray.
Hi, many thanks for your interest and comment, as the board size is only 52inches by 41inches and I wanted two ovals linked and all of the board used and maximised for track and buildings including three stations and sidings and also a high street, using curves is the only way to achieve this effect. Kind regards Ray.
Sorry for the double post, didnt think it posted. I was on the fence for a while debating N or HO, with fading sight & size of some of the parts/equipment, HO won out :)
Love the variety of buildings with what looks like finished interiors & the wonderfull lighting. Very nicely done Ray, thanks for sharing this great video ;)
Hi, many thanks for your interest and comments. Most of the buildings I fitted in cold running 12v dc leds from a regulated transformer. The fitting entailed drilling carefully and feeding in a sort of wire loom which I made and tried to hide the wires, it was a worthwhile project that took some time to complete. Sadly now my eyesight not so good so I have moved up through N to 00 gauge and on to on30 gauge, and have a few projects still being worked on.
Ray - Very nicely done. I'm starting on my second layout (the first was a 2' x 4' apartment size layout) this one is 4' x 8' so quite an upgrade. I have the track laid and a total of 13 switches and 12 separate powered sections with two cabs. Like your cityscape, would like to use it for as a basis for my layout.
Hi, many thanks for comment, You upgrade sounds interesting size wise, upload some pictures as you make progress. Feel free to use any ideas from watching my layout video.
The city area looks nice. Some of those structures look like Kato models if I might be correct? Anyway, those buildings look excellent how they are setup.
@tarmac2001 hi, many thanks for your interest and kind comment. Yes , you are correct some of the building are Kato and in most building have put cold running 12v dc leg,s to give illumination.
Hi there, many thanks for your interest. As I built this over some time, bit by bit and many many hours I cannot put a cost to it. I got all items off ebay from U.S.A and Japan and UK to name a few countries. I started with the track first then added items as I went along. Engines where from memorey about £40-£50 each and buildings from as little as £5 an item. Kato track various prices as I bought boxed kits and points seperately, hope this helps, kind regards Ray.
I was surprised to see those DB-umbauwagens on your tracks.
But they did migrate in real life too, three of them are just 8 km from my home at the dutch coast. With a railferry and some imagination it could be possible...
The layout looks much, much larger than the stated dimensions. I like it very much! Nice balance of scenery and track. The interior lighting of the buildings is awesome. Five+ stars; job well done.
ya looking at your layout gives me a boost of confidence because if you can do it on a 4 foot by 3 foot board with that much stuff I will have no problem doing it on my 5 foot by 4 foot board. thank you :)
hi, thanks for asking board size is 52inches x 41 inches. In N gauge you can have quite a good layout in a small area. Good luck with your new project
many thanks
