EPS Foam for SUBroadbed?

Fri, 2020-08-28 06:32 — ednadolski

Hi,

Has anyone ever tried using EPS foam (blue or pink board) as the subroadbed for your layout? I'm considering it since it should be lighter and easier to cut than plywood (and I want a lightweight layout). Of course it would have to be fully supported, like on a hollow core door or such, since by itself it will sag across any kind of span. Seems it should be at least the 1" thick stuff, tho 2" could be overkill.

Sky Color/Paint

Fri, 2020-08-28 03:56 — railandsail

With my new color of LEDs I am re-evaluating the sky color in my layout room,...best be done before I start lying track,...and I wanted to paint a few other items under my other deck (the metal beams, etc).

The number of my LEDs has increases so the decks will be a bit more brightly lit,...so I began to think of a 'brighter blue'. I have a couple picked out.

But I have a major question. What 'sheen' does one choose,....flat, semi-gloss, satin etc??

YouTube Rolling Stock Reviews and Coupler Height

Thu, 2020-08-27 17:10 — Sean Martin

Whether its James Wright, Daniel Cortopassi or a number of others who review mrr rolling stock on YouTube. . . there is one consistency between them all. When reviewing/checking coupler height, most of the pieces of rolling stock have one or both of the couplers too high or too low.

Hello

Does anyone have experience with adding a Stay Alive to a Digitrax decoder DH165A0 that has a SFX006 Sound Bug attached? If yes please tell me where the blue and black wires are soldered to?

Thanks

Paul
