Faller Roller Coaster kit?

I just bought the Faller Roller Coaster kit. Anyone here have any tips on building it?

I have read the direction downloaded off their site and it does not seem that bad (just lots of parts and pieces) except for the alignment of the track. Is that really hard and does it stay in aalignment once done?

It will be on a removable access plate on the layout (secured to plate). Will removal of that plate with the coaster on it screw up the coaster track alignment?.

Thanks,

Let's talk about ballast

I bought some Scenic Express #40 Blended ballast and it arrived today.  It looks great, however it is signifacantly darker than I expected and may be too dark for the prototype area I am modeling.  It looks good for a yard, but may be too dark for the mainline. Here is the ballast:

 

And here are the prototype photos:

Free-moN: At Home and On The Road

As it seems my Free-moN modules have now become my "home layout", thought I'd start a new thread featuring the whole kit-n-keboodle rather than individual modules.

'Twas a busy weekend: on Saturday I set up all my modules in my garage to 1) troubleshoot, 2) see it if fit in my garage (a "California Basement") and 3) run trains!
Only took about a kabillion hours to get everything going, but once it did...!

Dirt Roads

Hi All;

I'm going to be needing to build some dirt roads for my railway and I'm wondering what methods work the best for this.  I'm sure there are different methods, and I would appreciate any feedback.

 

Thanks.
