Im bored so I decided to pot some pics of how I plan on doing my turnouts, to see if any one else has tried this, or just for some general input about it. Before i post pics all i did was took the actual switch machine flipped it upside down and then glued it to the underside of the turn out...

Benchwork Progress Okay so I am almost finished with my benchwork, all I have left to do is add braces to the legs, center piece and re-enforce the center as well. Its my first attempt at ever building any thing lol, but it turned out pretty well so far. (at least i think so sign1) Thats my...

Thanks alot to all of you guys who posted, I have a way better understanding of this. I have another thread for the progress of my layout ill update it once I have my track layed out and wired. Thanks.

Oh it will be on benchwork, and thanks alot guys for all your help if I get lost or any thing ill just update this thread rather than making a new one. Thanks again.

Ahhh I understand now so these feeders wires, when i decide where they needed to be placed, what are they ran from a power supply, will the bachman dcc unit have an output connection for them or how does that work? By the way thanks so far you guys

Hmmm, I must be way lost becuase when you say "feeder wires", i dont even know what those are, perhaps this is more simple than what i am making it out to be. I was assuming you had to wire the track in intervals from a supply of power, or is that how IT IS done?

This is kind of hard to explain/word it so i will try my best. When I was younger I remember getting trainsets and you simply assembled the track (an oval) attached wires from a blue box to a curved re-railer piece of track and then plugged the blue unit into the wall and that provided power and...

Little Update I started on my benchwork tonight and it is almost complete i needed more 2x4's than i thought:curse:. But oh well it will be finished tomorrow. Ill hook it up with some pics.:)

lookin really nice, cant wait to see more.

FINALLY i bought my wood tonight for my benchwork and tomorrow im going to start work on it. I will take pics of my progress and post them tomorrow once they are uploaded. Ill update this thread as often as i can as my layout grows.:)

Well it works, you heat the plastic piece just a little flex it to the shape you want in my case a 90 degree, and let it cool for a sec, works like a charm.

Ok i got it. Shay, and mason I used your idea's and it works great. Thanks guys.

That would be cool if you could find it, thanks man appreciate it.

I have a few of these laying around with all the original parts for each (got them from a buddy of mine), and the black part the actual machine that swtiches the track is detachable, is there any way i could mount these under the table the same way you would using the tortoise motor system?

Well thanks again guys for ALL the information provided. I appreciate it and you guys never let me down.

lol im definatly gonan have to paint those rails and ties, i appreciate all this input though its gonna help me out, thanks guys.

Im yet to start on my layout, but i think I will most likely go more with the first option rather than the second. I wont know till I start i guess:)

Wow, thanks for taking the time to type that, and send me some pictures as well. I really appreciate it and I will take it into consideration. Thanks ONCE AGAIN. (nice layout as well:))
