WELL DONE IN GIVING IT A GO ITS A ON GOING BATTLE AS TO WERE THE HELL THE DIRT COME FROM IN THE FIRST PLACE
THANK YOU
What is the little cardboard piece beside the empty Peco ST-245 cover at 1:15 in the bottom right side of the screen and again at 1:41 beside the same cover which has a curved turnout on top this time?? ........... Why put the track aligners at the joins of the baseboards if they are not at sections of rail that have a join in them? It seems counterintuitive .....
The little cardboard piece beside the empty Peco cover at 1:15 and 1:41 is a small template I made. On the video it is upside down. Up the right way, the template slots over the track, and provides a guide for approximate clearances to track-side objects, just as retailing walls, land-forms and station platforms (could be a good topic for a new video). When originally building the layout and laying the track, I did not have a satisfactory solution for how to break the track at the baseboard joins, so just laid the track over the join and to solve later. Years, later I discovered the track aligners, so have installed them retrospectively. One of the remaining tasks is to now cut the track at the track aligners. using a cutting disc. Cutting them now to create the join, is expected to result in a very clean rail junction.
But with the uncoupling ramp being higher than the track and you chamfered the front and back of the ramp it now means that the cleaning pad does not touch the track in that area as the ramp is higher than the actual height of the track..... How do you clean that area now if the wagon cleaning pad does not touch the track?
Good question. Ideally I need to fix the uncoupling ramp so that it is lower than the rail. In the mean time it is manual cleaning of those two small areas.
🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🚂🚂🚂🚂 Parabéns pelo seu trabalho incrível!!
correct me if i am wrong, bearing in mind i am new to this, if you do back to black i.e black wire top rail and red on bottom rail on both running lines as per your diagram at 3.45, when the points are thrown to go from up line to down line for example they will meet up correctly?
it depends on the layout where the scissor crossover is installed. In the case of Mont Park Model Railway, which is DC powered, the crossover joins the upline and downline, which due to being a dog bone style layout, as shown at 02:49 , the two lines are reverse polarity. This is solved by having a power reversing switch to the sections. Upon reviewing the video, with your question in mind, it is possibly not very well explained.
Interesting video! How are you going to resolve the uncoupling issue?
good question, I do need to investigate that one further, most likely in a follow up video
Great idea ... enjoyed the video very much. M
Best way to do it, but try swapping to lighter fuel instead same for track cleaning. Make sure not to get it on paint.
Thanks for another interesting video. What can you do to prevent similar grime build up? Is it an inevitable part of running the locos?
That is a good question. Suspect, unless we build our model railways in hermetically sealed chambers, with airlock entries and we wear space suits, they are inevitably susceptible to some dust. Cleaning the track every week or two would reduce the amount that is picked on locomotive and rolling stock wheels.
Is your track PECO or Hornby?
my track is Hornby flexi track
Excellent stuff, well done buddy, I have learnt something today straight away which I bet else no one wants to bother doing, but have found the problem. the amount of times see people complain about derailing on points, again well done and Thankyou for caring and sharing ✔✔✔✔😃😃👍👍
I take my track pieces and with them dead straight solder the joints together. Then I lay the rail in any radius I want. This will give you a complete straight joint and I have never had a problem after getting it laid. I have been doing this this way for the last 50 years that I have been in the hobby. It was a teaching from a master molder that was in the first club I was ever in.
Thank you for this video
should NEVER have a track join on a curve track joiners are straight so will ALWAYS be a slight straight if used on a curve
Hi, Can I ask you have you actually modelled a layout on the 'Mont Park line'? I've done a fair bit of research on it in recent years and remember seeing the branch line whilst travelling through Macleod one sunday in 1985. A very interesting line.
In name only unfortunately. I to was fascinated by the old branch line to Mont Park, from Macleod, and it is relatively local to where I live. Even though some my family see the synergies to my layout and when Mont Park was a lunatic asylum.
Well done for the diagram very useful 👍
They are rail joiners, Not fish plates as you stated..
Correctamundo 😃...
And the sleepers as you call them are actually RAIL ROAD TIES...
Hornby has the reputation to manufacture bad points. As I said somewhere else, the best quality/price ratio and ease of use on the market is Peco points and track in my opinion.
well done -a video to the point (not making a 15-minute story out of "nothing")
Excellent job, and I agree with everything you did. My layout is OO 1m wide, so very tight, which in its self causes issues. I found the curves would become curved angles ish. Then I watched a channel Chadwick Model Railway presented by Charlie. He advised that where a joint appears on a curve you should stagger the couplings on each rail so as not to be opposite each other. It's too late for me, I thought. After time, I never got around to ballasting because of this issue. It was time to stop this stall and move forward, so up came the track. I took two lengths of Peco code 100. Pulled the rail out of one side by 500mm. I did the same to the other length of track. I then cut a short amount on one end as it got bent, filed it so it would easily slide into the other sleeper in the other length. This meant each rail supported the other rail. It worked really well. Family life has held me back from completing the full installation, but it clearly is the way forward. Regards Steve
Certainly Charlie's method of staggering the rail joints would be a more effective and less troublesome, thanks Steve
@montparkmodelrailway300 I have a still image video soon to be released on my channel about how I did it, nothing special, but my attempt to show my process.
@gppsoftware My layout has improved because of staggered joints, bringing an end to derailing, so it's a win win allowing me to move forward with scenic work.
@gppsoftware I thought you meant on model railways. I do appreciate your comment as I don't know everything.

On my layout there’s 40 points all Peco which I am very please with it 24 working 16 to wire up which keeps me very busy Bill
Peco points especially the long ones these very realistic because the cures are very slight which is very good just like the real thing Bill
Another fabulous video! Thank you for the great introduction to ballasting, it really brings your railway to life! 🚂
The Hornby point is EM.😊

Nice explained Im in the infancy of my layout which will incorporate a double slip switch with similar wiring connections but with DCC and will more than likely use either a frog juicer an NCE AR 10 . .. Cheers Perth WA
Brilliant video. Thanks for sharing!
this video was very useful to me what have you made the green hills to middle of layout with please
the green hills are made using a combination of dense insulation foam cut to the general profile, than Sculptamold Modoelling Compound to smooth over and cover any joins.
Hornby strikes again. Poor design
Think I'm going to steal this for Peco code 80 N gauge track :)
are you running dcc trains?
no, I am running DC trains. Even though, one day I do plan to upgrade to DCC
@@montparkmodelrailway300 nice. I was caught off guard and thought you were running two trains at the same time at opposite directions through the crossover
@@justeliashere they were filmed as separate runs, and then merged together in the editing. This was before I started adding some voice over commentary to help explain. It does create a nice illusion though
@@montparkmodelrailway300 I see. Nice
I was wondering if it would be possible to contact you. I live in Melbourne and am building a oo/ho layout.
It's a Baden locomotive, KPEV never had blue or the IVh denomination to their stock :)))

Great video, thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for this post! I need to do this on my 3x2 N scale layout, the plan calls for crossovers on each side of the oval, but this then limits what I want to do, having both on one side using a scissor is a great way to accomplish this. Too bad no one pre makes them in code 80.
it is possible Peco make an N Scale Code 80 Short Crossover SL-393 which may be suitable

The perceived wisdom is do not create inclines starting on a curve.
Enjoyed the video Very much.
Very interesting. Nice when the trains run more smoothly.
Shinohara make a couple of these. No need to make one unless it is one they do not have. They also do 90° crossing.
Some thought provoking information. However, you failed to consider the wheel coning which acts like the differential on a car. The coning looks very obvious on the plastic wheel you showed. Not so obvious on the metal wheel. All wheels should have coning. As an axle with coned wheels goes round a curve, the wheel set will move towards the outside of the curve so that the outer wheel is running on a larger diameter of the coning, the wheel on the inside of the curve will run on the smaller diameter of the coning. This accommodates the different running distance on the real thing but probably can't deal will the tight radii that we operate one. Anyway, it shouldn't be forgotten. Great video. Thanks, Bob (UK)
Thank you Bob for the explanation of the wheel coning, it is something I was not aware of, and is very helpful to know. Awesome
@@montparkmodelrailway300 Hello Again, I don't know if you are aware but the rail is not perpendicular. It is laid at a slight angle, inwards, to match the angle of the wheel coning so that the whole of the wheel tread is always in contact with the rail. Regards, Bob
@@montparkmodelrailway300 That is true for a full size railway where the mass of the wagon/loco/coach with forward movement will "push" it towards the outer circumference (note also automatic greasers being fitted at the commencement of curves to minimise wear). However on model railways I suspect the drag of the train and the tighter curves will tend to pull the rolling stock towards the inner circumference. It's all going to be dependant upon individual circumstances. My layout has minimum 36" radius curves and my locos can generally cope with 6 coach trains albeit no inclines.
