take the purple track with the reverse loop so inside connecting tothe same track over, connect it to the dark track in one of the spots I drew in. hope this pic works. or learn to wire the reverse loop so that it works for you.

i would skip the 18 radius and go at least 22" just incase you want to run bigger cars or locomotives in the future. your helix should be closer in height, or you will a steep incline , too short of a space i think to make the climb across the bridge. anyways keep up the design work.

anyways I think the reason the locos were covered was to hide the paint job, it they were not standard gauage trucks on the locos they would never have ridden on the tracks, the non standard guage units made by EMD London usually leave on flat car, one left by large cargo plane in the 90s , no...

I do not own any spectrum steamers, but I do hear that they are great models. the speed thing is not exactly a problem i think. rather have a slow runner then a race car on my layout, spectrum usually are good pullers i think. speed takes away pulling power

well just get a simple hand held scanner. cheap, then just get the freqs you need for your area, most railfans have them

they had just started to pick up speed after picking up the cars at the refinery, so they were under track speed conditions.

if all else fails. here is a sgguestion from my days in Iowa. We use to make bigger then life ply wood cuts out of variosu things to get attention for this little town I lived in. If you cannot find a place to get the sticker made and printed. get an over head projector , get a coloured...

good luck on ordering parts. i had a hard time getting new hand rails for mine when I ordered them, was told most dd40 parts were out of stock. but most parts be replaced using other athearn parts, except for the trucks

well I figured that people would understand, solder the track together in long strips. 2 to 3 sections in lenght, then lay the track in the desired shape. then spike track in place, cut the section to mate up with next section of track and keep going.

i have to agree I do not want to see police wandering around with a fully loaded mp5 and guardsdogs. that seems over kill to me. but i do want to feel safe when there

I was wondering if it would not be so hard to post track scale in the subject line? i was looking at the various plans and was hard to figure out what was what from the subject. Please put the scale in the subject line? looking at hand made plans and some computer plans till you read thru like...

anyone I know who has soldered the joints on flex track does it so that they have 3 or more sections connected . then lays them down in the desire shape , then connects the next section of track... some find it easlier to lay the track in more then 3 foot sections. cruves are more true they say

well you should solder the trak before you lay the track, just easier to solder that way. i never soldered my track, i just put in a few extra power leads. i never had any problems i could not fix that way. and it was easier to do my bolck controls that way. old style here , no dcc yet
