Hey guys
I'm in the process of building an On30 model RR with 1:32 scale slotcar track in one. It's a big jump for me, as not that great at scenery, but i take my time and ask questions to get it right.
I have in the shed
There is NO layout designed. As its pretty hard to squeeze in a 5" slot-track and RR within confined spaces (both directions). Yes, I did think of Pt2Pt rail, but the idea of incorporating the 2 was to have a RR X'ing. (There is a safe mode that when the train approaches the booms will start to come down, and the power will be cut to the slotcar, hence a race to beat the train.)
But apart from that, the rail will be operational as well with a logging theme.
So on with it ...
I've started to work this in modules to tackle a mammoth task and that it's summer here and 40deg heats in a tin shed aint the place i want to be working in.
Got the log wall on the harbour done, just a bit more little and construction of the pier started.
Just painted yday, now onto the pier and wharf area.
Just a question on the pier... i've seen where people have embedded the rail in, now i'd like to get rid of the plastic base the tracks sit on, how do you guys secure the track (individual rails) down and how to keep the width ?
Cheers
Brendan
