    “The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
    But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
    Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
    don’t be happy when they stumble.
    For the Lord will be displeased with you
    and will turn his anger away from them.
    Don’t fret because of evildoers;
    don’t envy the wicked.”
    Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT

    The fun thing is that if you do not have a real model railroad this works totally fine in digital layouts! (Fx in trainz TSW or something else where you can drive trains on a layout)

    I created a game for my son when he was still playing with the wooden Thomas the Tank Engine trains. I had a list of operations listed on a card and with a dice roll you had to follow the directions. Putting the track together in different configurations made each game (op session) unique.

    Great video! I appreciate getting to see the "Hand/skewer of God", it makes me feel better when I have to do it on my little layout. It took longer than I care to admit to learn that's how the uncoupling is done

    i do something simmiler with my temporary layout (we are going to be moving house in 7 or 8 months so a permeate layout isn't gonna be a thing for a while) where i made a yard with my 3 switch tracks and my straights then put on enough cars for all my "industries" (scrap lumber and grain) then i would have chat gpt randomize the order and i would switch them arround.

    Many moons ago, I developed something similar to play with my daughter using her Thomas the Tank Engine layout. It was card based, each card told which car to take to which location, IE 'Take the milk car to the farm,' then another card, 'Take the milk car to the station.' It gave us structure in our play.

    Hi Jimmy. Question for future coffee and trains. I don’t like my big hand knocking trains around when doing switching. I was once told that the magnetic track was to problematic to use, if I convert all my cars to micro trains couplers would it cause accidental decoupling or not work smooth to have a magnetic track segment leading into switching area?

      To add to this (really good) question, are there any technologies/products out there or on the horizon that will enable better/more reliable remote uncoupling?

    Get a tanker out and bring it over to the other side of the layout, the switching moves took 20 minutes for him lol it’s a good start

    Hey, good morning! New subscriber here. Currently drinking Folgers easy on your stomach decaf. My question is, I'm starting a new train layout from scratch, in my basement. What do you recommend using to set on? I have a few fold up tabled, but I feel they would be uneven.

    • @DIYDigitalRailroad
      @DIYDigitalRailroad  2 місяці тому

      Folding Tables are always a good start. You can try to level it out with boards on the tables. Once you are comfortable with that, you can go with custom benchwork.

      That turnout is my problem child. It causes regular derailments and shorts. If it was on my mainline, I would’ve ripped it out already.

    There should not be any playing games with Model Railroading, this is serious business.
    Next you are going to try to tell me that we are just playing with toys.
    (This is sarcasm, in case it is not obvious.)
