Wish I had some I’m B&O paint, but they’re still awesome to have! Me too, wouldn’t have upsetting, but would have been wasted track! Thanks for watching!
Congrats on getting it to go .Kyle couple things you need to remember . Put power to every piece of track whether it's 2" or 3ft ,don't rely on track joiners, when laying flex track put the sliding rail to the inside and always check the end of the rail some times when the factory cuts the flex track to length it bends the end down so there's a bump down to the next section which causes derailments on curves . Yes, you can see board is not level with one another well done. Cheers Mate good luck with it Les
Thank you Dennis, I’ll admit it’s not 100%, but it’s closer to 10 then 1. Plus I’m enjoying the switching out of it, been doing some fun puzzles with it. Thanks for watching!
You can see the track flex downward when the loco gets to the switch. If the curved piece is being powered from the rails of the switch, then you have a loose rail joiner. Card stock helps the bend, but you make see this again as the weather changes.
That’s what I did, put a little piece of card stock underneath and everything seemed to be happy afterwards. That’s why I’m afraid to to to much right now, this is the first time I’ve had every piece laid out and just letting nature do it’s work. Eventually I’ll get better track as I can, but just mostly using the bachmann as a temp and see what I can potentially do. Learning step by step. Thanks for watching!
I would love to, but we’re talking about moving out of the place we’re in now into a bigger place someday, so that’s why I’m not ready to solder the rail yet. Plus I’m just mostly playing around and getting a feel of what I can possibly do.
That geep sounds awesome. Glad you figured out the problem for that portion of track.

I know, just mainly trying to come up with something to do some more switching and see what I can fit in the space. Thanks for watching.
Yeah Track problems are frustrating. But awesome when you figure them out. Glad you got it Kyle
Luckily it was a relatively simple fix. Thanks Pappy!
Wonderful success. Enjoyed watching and have a great rest of your weekend.(Steve)
Thank you Steve?
Your welcome.@@kylestevens6925
Happy days mate, glad you got it sorted.
Happy days indeed, thanks for watching!
Glad you got it worked out Kyle! As long as you are having fun, that's all that matters!

@@kylestevens6925 10 is better than 1! did you clean where the point rails connect to the stock rail? and tighten the rail joiners as some suggested??

Congrats on your clever detective work! Well done!
Thank you John Watson!
Well done, seems to run smooth now 👍🏻
you could solder your joiners as well , make the track more stable

Nice one Kyle glad you got it sorted 👍
Thank you Deano!
Hello Kyle🦃 just stopping by to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving
Polarity?black section have steel rails,likely to corrode and cause connectivity issues
Really? Good to know!
Looking good glad you got it working
Thank you Dave!
Good problem solving skills Kyle.
Thanks bud!
In life, a little rail must go😅. Glad your up and going, Kyle.
Thank you Doug!
That's cool you got it figured out.
Glad I could, now for more! Thanks for watching!
Nice you got it working excellent 🤟
Indeed I do! And it’s been fun doing some switching in there. Thanks for watching!
Well done Sherlock.
Thank you my friend!
we all learn from building our layouts
Indeed, we can help each other, but can’t always be guaranteed, thanks for watching!
All's well that ends well...
Indeed!
