Foam is used to insulate against the Frost line, I northern places (most of northern US and in Canada:canada1:) the frost line is pretty deep so we use alot more of it. It is placed against the foundation/basement, some times on both sides. the farther south you go the higher the frost line...

Despite what some people want to tell you, Blue foam and Pink foam are the same, the color is a trademark. And you and build it up as high as you want and use liquid nail to hold it together.

:eek:

Thank you

So my throttle attached to the zypher can run a DCC loco?

lol would a bachmann steamer be considered cheep?

Mine is a Spectrum and with the other ones that came into the store that day having DCC i'm guessing it won't be an issue. It looks like the Zypher is my way to go, thanks for the chart. What do I need to know about sound? will the Zypher handle this? do all DCC modules handle sound? am...

Ok so I'm looking for information on DCC, looking for pros and cons on the following information. 1) I think I would only ever run two trains, at most three. 2)I have a Bachmann steam loco that isn't DCC equipped but other ones in this spec are. how much work would this be to switch over...

If your layout is going to be out in the open, and in a high traffic area of your house, you can use stained wood on the visible sides, you'll need a jigsaw to cut out the pattern, but in the end it will look alot better. but if it's just in a basement, then it doesn't matter

How do you plan to continue, Are you going to lay all the track then start with the scenery, or work in sections? if you lay all track first what kind of time frame are you looking at until all the track is laid for such a large layout?

second that

More likly a bad speaker, try taping it to see it its stuck or a speck of dirt lodged in it

Great job on the office building, have you thought about adding the top of an elevator shaft to the roof? and if you cut out a couple random windows, then added some lexan that you have heavily tinted, you could have a light in there and it would give a feeling of a real sky scraper at night

Get your self a glue stick(or a few) and glue the pages to the table, then just cut everything out after that isn't track, lay the road bed on top of the paper that is still glued to the table

Thanks, I bought the kit from Alberta hobby here in Edmonton on the Yellowhead. It was a Walthers kit. I am still looking for another. I am also going to add some Pipelines in my layout.

What an awesome set up this is turning out to be, hope you will be adding some video.

make one yard with both ends returning to the main line, this way you can drop off cars at both ends, mix up loads, or just bypass it.
