Installed first Decoder...

Wed, 2014-01-08 21:18 — rswinter



...  I picked up a bottom-of-the-line Digitrax decoder (DN135D) to put in an old loco so my son had something to run when his friends come over (don't want them playing with the new DCC/Sound Locos).  The Motor control work fine, I still need to mess with the numbers to get it running a better, but it never ran all that great on DC anyway.

Filling in a big gap with a large kitbashed building flat

Tue, 2014-01-07 20:08 — kengoudsward

Downtown Freemantle has a pretty big gap in the scenic backdrop. We need to fill it up somehow, and what better way than a kitbashed building flat?!

So here's the "before" picture:

On30 clearance.

Tue, 2014-01-07 19:32 — dkaustin

When designing an On30 layout what is the clearance required for passing tracks to accommodate car and engine overhang? I have a few places where there would be parallel tracks. I just want to make sure passing trains do not snag on each other.

Thanks!

Critique of track plan for N scale

Tue, 2014-01-07 18:58 — KenSipel

Starting a layout and wanted input on track plan. Below is an image of the track plan flat and below that is an iso version of the same plan so you can get a sense of the vertical elements.

Speaker Question

Tue, 2014-01-07 17:30 — Dan Gross

In Mr. Petrarca's current DCC Impulses column, he refers to a 4 speaker installation and shows it in Fig. 4 on page 26. Question: It appears that the speakers are mounted to the plastic base cone side toward the plastic. Are there holes cut in the plastic for the sound to escape or is the plastic sheet acting as enclosure? I am working on a P2K E6 unpowered unit and have lots of room for speakers.... I am contemplating 4 28mm high bass speakers...

Thanks,

Dan

More fascia & valance progress...

Tue, 2014-01-07 15:31 — JLandT Railroad

Well yesterday I managed to bring both the fascia & valance around the corner of the L&T Branch.  Working with the 3mm MDF is really easy, its flexibility and light weight make it great to work with.

The method that I have used to secure the upper valance is working really well and I completed this section in under two hours (ceiling, upper valance & fascia).
