    That looks awesome man. Might I recommend you consider something like a big sheet of styrene for the backdrop behind the bridge… that would cover your access holes, would be removable for access or reuse in some future incarnation of the layout. Very nice work man, thanks for sharing!

    • @bcrdawsonsub7772
      @bcrdawsonsub7772 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you; I am hoping that when the backdrop is fully painted those panels will be less obtrusive; we'll see. It was a tradeoff for extending the Fort St. John Subdivision through the wall, which has greatly enhanced operations.

  • @coxsj
    @coxsj 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Very nice work. I particularly like the refuges and the bridge track detail. Well executed. A minor item on the bridge supports, the bridge shoes appear to be mounted 90 degrees from normal. The bridge shoes have a pin which sits perpendicular to the rails. The pair of pinned supports function as a point attachment for that end of the bridge span. The pins allow a very tiny amount of rotation of the span due to thermal expansion. There is normally a slide shoe for the support on the other end of each bridge span. The slide shoe allows for a small amount of longitudinal expansion/contraction due to thermal effects. The span looks great and you must be very proud of it! Very impressive scene taking full advantage of the benefits of N scale!! Cheers, Coxy

    • @bcrdawsonsub7772

    Why do you put feeder wires 1ft apart? It’s 12ft recommended not 12 inches

    • @timothyhorton3459
      @timothyhorton3459 ปีที่แล้ว

      I provide two pairs of feeder wires for each section of track regardless of the length or distance. I do not solder the rail joiners so am not relying on them for conductivity, although they typically do a fine job of that. Probably over-redundant, but have never had any issues with conductivity.

    Great to see this coming back together even better in the new flat Tim - it must be very satisfying to see your original decision to build a sectional layout really paying off now, especially as you have had to scrap so little as a result of the move and have been able to make some big improvements.
