- This video documents one switching cycle of the Dahlia Street Switching Layout in HO scale using the Waybill and Car Card system. This video was recorded on September 22, 2024 at the Estes Valley Model Railroad Club - Rails In The Rockies train show and swap meet in Estes Park, Colorado.
Excess moisture in the home is why I never have used paper buildings. Bummer !!! Really like this track plan and do I see where the 2 units hinge? What is the degree of the cross over please?? Very nice and the best I have seen in a long time and I have been in this hobby for over 60 years.
This is a good switching layout. It looks like a 25 degree crossing with a number 4 left hand and number 4 right hand Atlas Custom Line turnouts. I had a layout with the same track arrangement.
David, I think the crossover is the Atlas snap-track 30 degree. All of the switches are Atlas snap-track, so no accurate frog number. I have an 8-part series on the construction of the layout. Here is the address for the 4th video that shows module construction. th-cam.com/video/FwAmHnXhzjM/w-d-xo.html
@@armandisip2287 This layout was inspired by a real industrial park served by the CB&Q.
@@DavidBarnkowThanks for your replies, David. I hope to use your construction techniques and card system when I build my next layout. 😊
@@DavidBarnkow Thank you for getting back to me. I also use Atlas snap track switches as I have about half of my engines battery powered and the rest of the DCC ones have the "stay alive" unit.
Looks like that was a good show Dave. How's the On48 On30 layout doing. Enjoy your day. Ray L
Ray, I have decided to remove all the snow fro the On30/On48 Double Inglenook. As you recall, all of the track is handlaid, thus making snow removal more tedious. I have also worked on the O-gauge 2-rail 4-4-0 American Type conversion to On48. I broke one of the main driver On48 axle. I redid it in steel instead of brass.
