Hi siderod :thumb: :thumb: :curse: :curse: :curse: :curse: :p is how I feel but I can explain a little. 1st: I am going to use more than 1 module or 2 this will be a colaboration of layouts. 2nd: I will have a lower shelf for people (kids small adults etc.) and the higher one will be about 6...

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: I love the dime in there for scale I do HO and couldn't belive me bring able to do that small work kep it up :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Thanx, Ben

I see what you are saying but the magnitude of cars that goes in and out of Bailey yard,even in scale, will be enough to brack a tie or derail a train and each derail takes up time in the operating schedule to fix the problem and I want it to look and preform scale. I will start a mockup of the...

:eek: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: that might be a little tuf if the device pulls to hard it can snap the tie and it won't be as realistic. the real retardersw use cylinders the squeze on the rails on the insicde and out slowing the car its cool to watch :)

:rolleyes: yes I know :thumb: I wonder if i could make it into the record book for the largest amourt of blocks and switches :D:D well I like the complexity of DC its alot more realistic since the operators have to plan VERY well and can't get to close or the train will switch blocks and go...

I would love DCC but the $$$$ is a little low it has been gone down alot since my dad started his layout in 1995. I would go with DCC when the trime and money is right but as of know DC all the way :thumb: :D :D . I am modeling UP bailey yard....in DC :eek: :eek: I will hjave about 100 switches...

that is a brilliant idea:thumb: :eek: :eek: weeds I can place a good amput they are all over the place but I have to make it look unintentional ;) thanx,

I was thinking about doing the top 3' and the bottom 2' but I wanted to allow room for big yards I think I can pull it off with some super bracing thanx for your concern though thanx,

I have finished my plans I will post them as soon as i get home from school :D :rolleyes: I will make it 6' tall 4' long and 4' deep I will use connectiors on each end of the top and bottom modules to connect power bus wires and etc. I will have a phione jack connector to connct the digitrax...

:thumb: :thumb: I give it 2 thimbs upI wish I culd model like that is that a F7????:confused: looks good:D

thank you so much I will post pics as my layout SLOWELY :rolleyes: progresses :thumb: :thumb:

lol masonjar the way it looks for me I willl be growing in all direction withy the hobby an well you know :p :p I personally would use swing bridge that swings out not up or down just my 2 cents "hey another idea":rolleyes:

:rolleyes: true my plan was to take some small servos or air cylinders and have them push on the INSIDE of the rail onto the flange and the actual *brake* material will be balsa or foam. I wil probably go with balsa since it dosen't create as many particles. this will be activated using DCC CTC...

lol thak you for clarifying it will not be th focal just a *in* the picture wanted to make shure it wasn't a problem that people got angry thank yo and look for my photos in a few days/week Thanx, Ben

I belive you can fit up too 80 or 85 feet cars on that you shouldn't have any ploblems running anything on 24". Laso one thing I do if they derail of squek cause the almost or do want to come off is sand down the little pocket (use yuor judgment) till it move more freely just what I do. Thanx, Ben

I didn't see his he posted as I typed sorry!! the radius is the point from the center to the outer the circle what you are thinking of is the diameter. Bach mann e-z track is 18" radius or 36" circle (they also carry 22") MasonJar said it seems plenty enough to do HO. I do deisels and with...

lol train clown I will stick with 2 levels for now ;) I think having the bottom smaller wider than the top won't work I will post a drawing of what I mean when I get home from school tonight. thanx, Ben
