Never seen an oil loading facility and I'm modeling Texas in N-scale, lol. I have built a couple, but not seen the sheds before, so learned something new. That plastic makes good passenger depot platforms, also.
hello Nscaler454 i like your idea with the track bumpers... sanding the [plastic to fit over the nail is a awesome idea. .the finished scene looks great... i am new to our channel & have subbed with the bell...i am an N scaler. i'll be doing m 3D printed loading dock soon...thx 4 sharing... vinny
I'm glad to see even a pro like you has a very slight kink where the flex meets the turnout. I really struggle with that with peco flex. Never had that problem when I was using ME flex. I honestly don't care for peco flex very much but their turnouts are so good. I wish peco was true c55 so it could join up with other brands of C55 track easily.
@@seanspennywisemiserrr If you watch the build video you will see it's not very adaptable to be used as a single track or even half the size. Id have to do modifications in the design files to make it work. I did put some sections up on Shapeways for a quote, and it'd be well over $200, maybe $300. Yikes.
@@nscaler454 Thank you for the swift reply! I just found your channel today, very useful stuff! Do you print the parts yourself / what printer do you use? I just started collecting US trains and I'd love to learn as much as I can before I proceed.
@@ActAshira I print on an Anycubic Mono X. There are better printers now though. Thanks for checking out the channel. You can see my prints at www.nscaler454.com
Who did your 3D Custom Loading facility? I have been trying to build one but running into problems for the actual hose arrangement to fill the tankers.
Another question: I have trouble soldering without a heavy dollop of nasty lead based solder paste, but I don't see you using any flux at all. Are you just soldering straight with nothing but the iron and solder? What's your secret?
I use a flux paste, but only enough to coat the rails. No globs. Also I use a fine tip on the soldering iron. Lastly, make sure there is enough heat in the rail, that heat will pull the solder in.
I enjoy learning from you

great work looks good thx for the update.😊😊👍👍
Your loading facility is fantastic looking!!!!!
thanks!
Outstanding job, like the detail. Bob
Nice video! Thanks for doing

I have been planning a 3D loading dock as well. I would love to see how yours turns out.
Coming right along!!!
Fantastic! Great work.
nice work
So waiting for next clip on this , I'm already wishing I could wave a magic wand and transport to my layout.
Very nice video
Looks really good
NIce build and great video
Thanks!
This turned out great!
😊

I learned my lesson. Solder track that is going to be in a corner.
Your Layout will Look Sharp when Done Don’t Rush it.
Fantastic looking loading facility. Did you print these yourself?
I designed and printed them myself. Thanks!
@@nscaler454 do you sell them?
@@seanspennywisemiserrr I don't think I would sell this one. The print time alone would never make it worth it.
@@nscaler454 how about a single track with two bays?

👍
That is so cool! What program did you use to design the 3D parts?
Fusion360

I designed and printed it myself. How is your hose arrangement posing a problem?

@@nscaler454 any particular brand or type of flux you like? I got a non-lead style but it's so thick, more like wood-filler.
Great video! Did you buy the file (if yes where may I ask?) or model the tanker platform yourself?
Thanks. I designed it myself.
If you Want Bend The Coupler Hose Upward With players =no Problem.
The music is annoying.
Wasn’t that bad
Nice video! Thanks for doing
Thanks for watching!
