    The next time you separate the modules, consider painting that exposed Sculptamold with your brown base scenery, to guarantee that the white won’t show through at any viewing angle.

      Alternatively, if your budget allows, mix paint into the plaster batches so that even if it chips its already an earthen color throughout

    I saw some code coming by. Looks like you have extensive blocks of if-then statements, it might be more useful to create a mapping (an array or even a bitmask might work very well here) of sorts between conditions and state. This usually reduces the amount of code needed and might also be easier to read (and/or debug).

      ​@@Marc_Miller LightCondition = LightConditionTable[CurrentState]. CurrentState is a bitmask. ie: Switch1Reverse&Track1Clear (Values 1, 4 so it goes to index 5 (6th element)) enum Crossoverstate { Switch1Reverse = 1, Switch2Reverse = 2, Track1Clear = 4, Track2Clear = 8}

    Man, I'm glad I found your channel! For many reasons, I haven't been able to begin work on a proper layout since seriously getting into the hobby several years ago. Over the years I've collected a decent amount of motive power and rolling stock, but have had to resort to temporary layouts whenever and wherever I could lay one down in order to see my trains run. As a result I've amassed a huge amount of Kato Unitrack. Now I finally have a place to lay down a legit layout. I decided that I have too much money invested in the Kato track to just let it collect dust and I'm just not really looking forward to the rigors of hand-laid track. After seeing the results of your trackwork, I 'm sure that I'll be able to create a decent looking layout using my stock of Unitrack. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Aloha Jimmy, I take it that you place an arduino on each module and just run a seperate DC power buss between the modules to run electronics and lights. During the module construction could you show a picture on how you handle the connections between the modules.

    • @DIYDigitalRailroad
      @DIYDigitalRailroad  Місяць тому

      Hello! Yes I will be doing updates. The next module will be a big chunk of phase 1 and I will be doing the update then. I have 3 more major module projects before phase 1 is done. As for the old modules. I actually stripped them for parts because they did not match.

    I'm considering building a layout (non-modular) with a double crossover like this attached to the end of a curve. Do you/would you expect to have issues with the S curve this creates?

  • @donh8833
    @donh8833 Місяць тому

    Usually, when you have a double crossover like that, they all throw at once (reverse) or all go straight (normal) Shouldn't pattern me Green Green for normal? And Red Red for reverse (crossover). That's my understanding. But I maybe wrong from reading my signalling handbook. I gotta say though, that's really a good looking scene section.

    Hi Jimmy - - great job, and as a T-TRAK modeler, I am enjoying the new focus to a T-TRAK layout :-) --- One thing I want to share- From my experience, having a double (or single) cross over module RIGHT next to the corner module can lead to some cars/locos derailing on the entrance to the turnout (a good example is exactly how you had it pictured at the 7:00 mark) .... When my group puts together layouts now, we always put something in between a corner module and a crossover module (Be it a full module, or even just a 62mm double track piece.. I know your looking at building this has a home layout, so you could always just make a par of "non-standard length" modules to address this if you don't want to mess with the overall layout design too much)

    • @brianpugh2656

      What happens when the cross over is in the middle of a double module?

    • @KevinSquire
      @KevinSquire Місяць тому

      @@brianpugh2656 ... I assume that would be fine since you then have a built-in straight on either side. (The key is just to have a straight section of track before getting to the turnouts.)
