Building a Custom Curved Turnout: Part 1

[thehobbyman123]

what is the best scale of track to use on a 8x4 sheet of plywood with mountain scenes?

[thebige61]

@thehobbyman123 N scale will allow you to do the most in such small space.

tight on curve widening?



[thebige61]

I'm probably going to have to move up to a bigger scale as I get older.

Nice vid..great patience! My arthritic fingers do best with S gauge of bigger... keep these videos coming!

I began to wonder were thebige61 was with some new videos, always a pleasure to watch well made videos.

Question, how do i remove a section of track that is already ballasted without damaging the track..or atleast low damage?

[thebige61]

If you've spike it take the spikes out and then run a thin utility blade underneath the track to gradually work it off.

Great videos 5*

[jimeronimo]

I'm really surprised you have to take out the entire thing to correct that. Why couldn't you just make some kind of adjustment/tweak to the track, etc???

[thebige61]

I had already done some adjusting and figured it was a lost cause. It was still functional just as long as I didn't use the siding. I just decided to bite the bullet and re-do it.

Rouge turnouts are a nuisance.

I can't for this entire series! I'm looking to install a couple curved turnouts on my HO layout build so this should help immensely!
