    A modular 180 curve

    @nkp174, I know of all them nice cars :). Most DC cars can run on M-track, once one has kadees on the Marklin stuff :) @grewsome, I use WinTrack 7.0

    A modular 180 curve

    Out of the box, the Märklin C-track does not have isolated rails, but it is easy to do: One just cuts/removes some 'spades': On my modules I have separated the rails so that I switch between DC and AC operation. When I run in AC mode, the center studs is '+' and the rails are '0' in DC mode...

    How I construct modules...

    Yes, it acts like the 3rd rail (MIBA-Partner: Erbert Modellbahntechnik: H0-Punktkontaktsystem). The engines have a slider that pics up the current (+ digital info). Being a rookie at soldering, I did my best. I will try using silver-solder in the future, thanks for the tip!!

    A modular 180 curve

    This spring a did a series of 4 modules that for my home layout would sneak around a table, but at modular meetings could be configured as need be. The short sides all have the same 'interface' (symmetrical along the vertical centerline) They are all constructed basically the same way I did my...

    I believe a lot of the European models have NEM style couplers. There are some kadees that can be used with the NEM pockets. I have a few, and I'm planning to replace to Kadees on the cars where it's possible

    How I construct modules...

    Our club is loosely connected. We don't have a 'club house'. Whenever we have a meeting (be it in a gymnasium, a museum, a rented space etc) it depends on what modules show up at a meeting. If enough industry modules /stations are present. There'd be some switching opportunities :). Seems you...

    Tallus added (WS fine brown and coarse buff) The tallus etc is SOAKED with a mixture of white glue, water and rubbing alcohol. Abutments glued in place using latex. Bridge test fitted (to be painted...) The camera reveals quite a few spots where I will need to add a bunch of ground foam [:)]
