I’ve been working on scenery for the past several months. I’m in the process of installing a park with a working Merry-Go–Round with lights, sound and auto DCC operation. I’ll try to get a new update on YouTube this week.

Thanks for asking

[barondesena]

Love how the train disappears into the distance at the end!

[mrspacecase]

I can't wait to see your layout scenicked! The trains with sound are fantastic - I am an n-scaler as well, and I want to upgrade to sound. I've used sound equiped HO at the Elmhurst IL club (my brother's Hiawatha) and I love it! Cheers!

Great Lay-out. I love to see the finishing touch.

Try : treinbaan 3000

[ringersmadchamp]

I use a tack hammer. It's light weight.

Also a "nail set" with a dimple on the end to help drive the nail the last little bit.

[TheNewDorkTimes]

what kind of hammer do you use to drive the model railroad nails or whatever theyre called into the particle board and is it hard?

[ringersmadchamp]

A little heave but not a problem. The big plus is it will not warp. I used traditional box framing, nothing fancy. If you look at the 4 videos, you can see the basic framing I used.

[TheNewDorkTimes]

wouldnt particle board be really heavy? and, just so my layout doesnt break, what do the supports look like? are they complicated, or just a lot of triangles to give it structure?

[ringersmadchamp]

Its easy. I used particle board as my base. Then I mapped out where the track is going.

Next I glued down N scale cork and nailed the track in place. It takes a little time and patients, but it gives a good smooth quiet ride. Ill have some new stuff on youtube with in the next week. ie: Con-Cor Aerotrain and The Southern Pacific Daylight Express, a few C-liners and anything else I can cram in.

[TheNewDorkTimes]

dear ringersmadchamp,

please send me a message explaining how to lay n scale track down like you did, cause i have no idea how to.

[bennnny73]

i'm jealous of you because i've been trying and trying to get the southern pacific steam locomotive.

[Thomastrains1]

Sweet layout.But it took along time for a train to pass the screen. You still get 5 stars!!

[ghost010X3]

well i have a noob set till i can get a permanet layout finished. the set i have at the moment is called " life-like " :sigh: it has good trains and the track is easy to clean, have you even used that type of track ? or even know of that brand ?

[ringersmadchamp]

It depends how many trains you want to run at one time. If you have 2 or 3, you should be fine. It's all baised on how many amps you are using at any given time. Digitrax has a starter unit for MUCH less. Check there web site. Is the Zepher dcc power unit. It ran my layout for over a year until I wanted more power.

[ghost010X3]

i see, well i was in a store called leading edge hobbies and a connector for a dcc cost like 349 $, and i now have a fair sized track

and one power sorce it works fine, is it ok ?

or will there be fire ?

[ringersmadchamp]

Its not that hard to do. It just takes time.

After its complete you will notice how much better the train runs. All my connections come up from under the track and attach to the side of the rail.

[ghost010X3]

is it really hard to connect that many power sorces , like i dont see it on your track ?
