What are you putting under the rails on the lawn to stabilise the track? After watching these vids I am starting to realise that I am going to have to replace my Lego curved track with something far more conducive to train operation. The Lego curves are simply far too tight, R40 is just ridiculous and does nothing but cause issues, if I had tried this with the Lego curved track it would have been derailing or not moving, R40 has got to go. So now that I have made the choice to dump R40 to landfill...What do I replace it with? What is your preferred track radius choice?
@@neilrusling-je6zo For the most part I didn’t put anything under the rails for stabilization. Only on a couple of places the lawn was sloped so I had to add some bricks below one side of the track to make sure that the trains wouldn’t tip over. Well, going for bigger radius curves is great and definitely worth it! There are many factors that go into deciding what radius you want to use… First of all you need to measure out how much room you have for large curves. If you have a permanent layout for most people that’s the deciding factor. If space is no issue I would recommend using R104 and up. Maybe R88 as well. For the most part you can run your trains at full speed through these curves without them derailing. That’s great! Also there are quite a few other track pieces at the R104 size available from companies like TrixBrix. Multiple switches, crossings, double crossovers and so on. And last but not least the bigger the curve radius, the more realistic a layout starts looking.
Puh… Das weiß ich gar nicht. Ich habe noch nie meine Eisenbahnstrecken in Metern ausgerechnet. Ich weiß aber, dass ich alle meine geraden Schienen, also etwas mehr als 350 Stück, in diesem Layout verbaut habe. Dazu kommen dann noch die großen Kurvenradien von Trixbrix sowie die Weichen.
Thanks! The Santa Fe is powered with PowerFunctions using 2 Train Motors (one per locomotive). And yes, I actually do use ball bearings on the Santa Fe passenger cars.
Wowwwww perfect brother ❤❤ 🥰🥰🥰
@@KeretaExpress Thanks buddy!
I love these trains. I have the metroliner in my city and the santa fe I used to have.
They’re some of LEGO‘s best train models in my opinion.
@@jumabricks I think i'm going to agree with you on that!
the second one is the best lego train ever!
The way the wheels go over the track joints almost sounds real. I would die just to see the super chief in person!
Awesome layout!!!
Thank you! It was a lot of fun!
Nice vid! Really like the vertical & horizontal movement of the trains
So pretty I love your garden
Thank you!
Wellcome
Nice train.
Two classic LEGO trains that I wished I owned :(
Super nice video
Thank you!!
How are the trains going so fast?
This is simply how fast LEGO trains can go using their original electronics.
Oh sweet
Niceeee!

That. Looks like the mountains
Mich würde interessieren, wie viel Meter Schienen du verlegt hast? Ist schon beeindruckend.
Puh… Das weiß ich gar nicht. Ich habe noch nie meine Eisenbahnstrecken in Metern ausgerechnet.

@@jumabricks Holla die Waldfee, das ist schon recht Ordentlich möchte ich mal so behaupten.
That's impossible How do you put a Lego Metroliner Train with no 9v motor ?
I used the Lego PowerFunctions system to power that train. That’s the system that I use for almost all of my trains.
Nice Garden
Yep
Thanks! I‘m glad we have this garden, otherwise this video wouldn’t have been possible ;))
Cool! Love the ambience :) In which way is the Santa Fe powered? Do you use ball bearings?

Nice dude, but i have a question how did you get the passenger car for the santa fe
Can u buid a b series
@@TransitOfPerth I don’t have any plans for that right now.
