I know this video is over a year old but those self drilling metal type drywall anchors. The ones that look like giant screws that you drive with a philips driver work great in foam if you need to screw into it ever again.

[@N-Scale]

Cool , I never thought of that , Thanks , Mike

[@NicksCollectableCreations]

Interesting solution to an interesting problem. Our train show this weekend the Near Sighted Narrow Gauger's were there and I noticed they had done a similar thing on their layout to yours where they had recessed their switches for the turnouts into the fascia same manner as you did.

[@nscalemodeltrainshowtochan4479]

Thanks , yes it is really not a new idea but it is a good one.
Thanks , Mike

[@cabincreek1692]

Good video. I've learned a lot of things from you that I've implemented on my layout. Thanks.

[@nscalemodeltrainshowtochan4479]

Thanks so much , I learn as I go as well.

Mike, Great installation "how to" as I have an area like this that I will need to do the same to someday. Also, that is a great looking T-Shirt! Take care, Tony

[@nscalemodeltrainshowtochan4479]

Thanks so much Tony. I hope it will work for you.
Mike

[@randysrockandrollrailroad8207]

Very Cool! Now you need it to make it sound like the hand brake is being set when you flip that switch lol, thanks for sharing

[@nscalemodeltrainshowtochan4479]

Thanks but I think i'll pass on that idea for now.
Mike

[@SGTGhost]

Great installation video, and it's looks great on the layout

[@nscalemodeltrainshowtochan4479]

Thanks , It is really had to see in person. Pretty Tiny.

Hi Mike, Excellent video and job well done. On a side note, in your video at time stamp 9:20, are those air planes painted on your ceiling or are they models? Cheers, Rich S.

[@N-Scale]

Thanks , and those are all models and most are Hallmark Christmas ,Sky is the limit , Ornaments

[@MikeThomasRailRoadOverhaul]

you could probably use the same premise to uncouple cars.

[@N-Scale]

I am not sure how but maybe.
Thanks , Mike

[@colnagocowboy]

Well thats got to be easier than getting in there with a rix pick and setting all those tiny handbrake wheels.

[@nscalemodeltrainshowtochan4479]

For sure . LOL
Mike

[@marksawyer5299]

Is that a O scale ant at 7:11?

[@nscalemodeltrainshowtochan4479]

Nope it is a scale squirrel.
LOL
Thanks , Mike
