    Just discovered you. I use this stuff on our *museum HO layout and love its versatility. But what is missing, is the weathering. I have so much to do, having taken over as the scenery guru two years ago. Much of the layout was still bare plywood and we wanted to make a GoPro video of everything to run on the screen at the drive-in theater, "The Great Train Ride". So, when I get the roads laid down, I'll be back with my new knowledge and the existing roads are going to look far better. Thanks in advance!

      @JosephMusgrove 21 день тому

      @@AndrewRiha Glad you enjoyed it Andrew! I use 18-gauge copper stranded for my feeders and connect these to my bus wires using 3M suitcase connectors. For soldering the feeders to my track, I use rosin core solder made for electronics. I do not use flux paste. I tend to go overkill when it comes to smooth and reliable operations. So I have a pair of feeders for every track section and turnout sections. I also equip my locomotives with TCS Keep Alive’s.

    Am a DC guy - use Peco turnouts 100% (with Atlas Code 83 flex track). Like them for being power routing-do have to add jumpers from time to time. Perhaps their quality comes from where they are manufactured-UK vs. China!
