holy crap this … holy crap this things auwsome i’m starting my own, n-scale and then a big one that’s h0 my grandpa had tons of them before he died thx for the ideas and the great vid
anyone happen to … anyone happen to know a good way to split bachmann ez-track off its base (without destroying it) so i can use it with my atlas track?
I have never worked … I have never worked with ez-track. By close inspection you should be able to tell if it is glued or fastened to the roadbed. If glued I guess it couldn’t be seperated.
Thanks. I looked at … Thanks. I looked at the grand valley layout on the website,looks like a nice first layout. Take your time, do a good job and have fun. I made some additions to my layout. Will put a new video on in a month or so.
Track nails or RR … Track nails or RR spikes, you have to get them at a hobby shop. Any small nail or brad will do but they probably won’t be black so you will have to paint them. It is best not to put track on plywood. The trains run noisy and it’s hard to put the nails in. I put a fiber board over the plywood. The best is called HOMOSOTE but is hard to find. I just used ceiling tiles. It is not as dense and the nails will work loose in time.
Those 2×4 foot … Those 2×4 foot white with holes in them tiles that you see in alot of office buildings. Put the side with the holes in face down and glue them to the plywood. There are alot of books and magazines at your hobby store on getting started in model railroading. They tell you all the basics.
Your includes … Your includes everything that a good layout should have! Nicely done! The UP’s City of Los Angeles went through my town more than 50 years ago. They said you could get on the train in the morning, ride to Chicago, catch a baseball game, and then ride back in the evening! What brand of passenger cars are on you C.O.L.A. train! Thanks.
Those are Rivarossi … Those are Rivarossi cars that are about 20 years old but I painted and lettered them myself. The dome on the observation car is a kit that I put on.I made some additions to my layout and will be putting a new video on in a month or so. Thanks for the comment.
