ok i got a copel questions why you have so maney power hookups on main line and i seen pine needles so how do you clean sap off the tracks? but looks realy good im laying my first track in spring
All curves are at least five foot radius. Curves will handle speeds in excess of 60-70 scale MPH.
The video was taken running at no more than 20 scale MPH. The scale on the speedometer car was set for 1:20.3. Shooting a video at track level will always give the impression that the train if going faster than it really is. That's why it's important to hold the speed down. Had this video been shoot at a train speed greater than the 20 SMPH you'd have thought we were using a rocket ship.
Joe has an extensive amount of track. Both the main outer loop along with an inner loop. Plus enough sidings to handle a number of trains and rolling stock.
Yes, there was barbeque along with all types of good things to eat. The TBTO doesn't meet unless there is food!!!!!!
Not my railroad. Don't think the owner ever intends to ballast. Track is mounted on pressured treated timber. The track work has been in place for over eight years. Owner has never had a problem with using this method of laying track.

Running those speeds he almost needs wider curves. Nice layout.

Quite a setup. Nice video. Are you going to ballast the railroad? What's under the tracks now.
