Layout Update | Paving over new track

We're almost done with the addition of an industry track. We're gonna be trimming the track and wiring it up for power and finish it up with 'paving' over it using drywall spackle.

Thanks for sharing. Picking up an 8 oz Monday. Need this for Intermodal Loading Track to be able to work from either side. Drive Lift Tractor over rails. I like the Color Curing Indicator, but prefer it to be Blue. 😊

In a lot of these situations, the switch is left open from the frog to the points. Sometimes the area is then marked with cones or even posts around to ward off errant truck drivers.

[@tracybrown9634]

I think points is the terminology you may be looking for.

[@timwright3592]

Nicely (and simply) done! I am building a small industrial park, and will be laying some pavement/concrete. Great video for that!

[@patrickhalsey4000]

good vid

[@michaelbosick9326]

Why don't use old set wheel and truck run on the track to clear the frange

[@socalscalemodels]

good idea.

[@Christiane069]

That soldering may not be the best at all. Practice makes perfect.

[@socalscalemodels]

lol I normally do better it was just a little hard to do it with the tripod and camera in the way.

[@Christiane069]

@@socalscalemodels OK, I'll pass it once.

[@beeble2003]

"Spackle" is a very silly word.
