Benchwork and roadbed

A Possible Short Circuit on Layout Track

Mon, 2014-08-11 18:13 — old prospector

I know this is going to be sort of long winded, but I need to explain what I'm trying to accomplish with my layout. So PLEASE accept my apologies, and bear with me. I finally have gotten most of my track layout anchored down. My layout consists of a main layout bench, plus an upper level bench above that. My intention is to have a continuous loop completely around the room walls but still have a reversing situation without having to manually pick the engine up and move it to the opposite end of the rolling stock to go in the opposite direction.

Prototype examples of bridges on a grade?

Thu, 2014-08-07 11:35 — Mike Laley

Hi all, I am going to be installing some bridges on my  N scale layout soon and wanted to know if is acceptable to put a truss and/or girder bridge on a 2% grade, or is that just not done.

Thanks, Mike

Foldable legs on a module

Tue, 2014-07-01 16:19 — traintalk

I have built a few modules that will go in my garage, but I need to build some foldable legs that are sturdy to take abuse of taking them up and down to get the cars in.

Does someone have a diagram that you can you can post?

Joining plywood beams

Tue, 2014-07-01 10:26 — chubber

I don't seem to be able to add to the 'Joining plywood' thread, so here's my foolproof method, simply drill and insert 2 hardwood dowels for the ends of your drywall screws to cut into.....when all glue is dry etc, trim 'em off!
