This show was fairly well attended, the huge NRail layout setup that I was apart of with the Free-moN gang worked out pretty good, even with some issues. Fun show.
@@KenN.OXN.805 Well, there was a bit of miscommunication with a group that didn't get the required wiring done to connect DCC with ours. Also, the helix double track had issues being setup to meet with Kato double trak and not Free-moN spacing of 1.125". It didn't matter anyway since the helix had a broke switch that only allowed one track to work, plus it had a short in it on Friday. Future attempts will require better DCC planning with each group to decide on one command station, proper grounding, and a compliant helix configuration. We learned a lot for the next time, if ever.
As I model British and Continental. It is interesting to see what is happening in the states. I am looking forward to the n club International meeting in Stuttgart, Germany, this November. Where clubs from all over Europe meet up.
I get it, but filming so much stuff would make this video 3 hours long if I walked at a snails pace. I left out about an hours worth as it is. But I will try and slow down a bit next time.
@@GainesStrader Are you looking to upgrade to a more "normal" layout vs running 5 trains in a circle? Flextrack, DCC, Point to point, switching with industries, that kind of thing? Normal railroad ways of doing things. Probably an around the room layout along the walls with possible ability to let the trains just run is what I would suggest.

Care to describe issues in joining the free-moN and nrail systems?
[edit]
Never mind, saw your explanation on the Jeff Schultz video

😢 man, I'm sorry I didn't make it down there. I had the opportunity to go and only pay for my food. 😢😢😢
Oh well, maybe next time. I am currently not planning on going to California next year, but who knows.
Would have enjoyed it more if the camera was not being moved so fast.

When was this train show?
The end of Aug 2023 in Grapevine TX (Dallas).
I wish you could come to Chicago and build me a layout can you?
Maybe, it really depends on size, scale, and money. Also time to do it. It is a 8 hour drive.
