Can you run mors than 3 ?

[joejuliana]

@MrMixNix not at the same time.

[MrMixNix]

Nice vid. I there a certain thing you have to do to run 2 trains on the same track?

[joejuliana]

@MrMixNix Thanks. I don't run two trains on the same track. Each track has its own transformer.

[MrMixNix]

@MrMixNix okay but there still connected to the same track right?

Nice little layout you have. That's probably one of the more nicer floor layouts I've seen. The upper level is a nice touch, rather than it just being two loops on the floor.

@maxstrains Thanks. Hopefully someday they will be moved into the next room on tables. Ahhh, someday.

Hey Joe,

tell me how the elevated fasttrack system works, looks like it works well. looks pretty

solid, i went to local Lowes and paid .25 per cut for 2x4s to evlevate a section of the railroad. even after paying for the 2x4 piers still had to shim some of them up. cant even hire good help these days.

@bushwacker2008 It works great as long as you properly space each support piece. There are a couple of gaps where the supports had to be a few more inches apart around the curves due to the track on the ground. If I put my Lionmaster Challenger on the elevated track it tends to bend where each track meets at certain points due to the weight of the engine, and the extra space between supports. But if each support is evenly spaced at ten inches it works great. Hope this helps.

Very Nice setup. At least you have a room to se up your trains. I need a room for my LIRR, Metro North and subway set, LOL. Thanks for sharing!!!! 5 stars.
