The Sydney Project 19: Starting on the visible track
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- In the previous installment, I laid all the track in the main staging yard. This time, I'll continue track-laying through the first of the visible portions of the railroad.

G'day Peter. Ah, Magoo, you've done it again! Each time you share your skills with us its looking more and more a masterpiece. I love the way you've got those long points in, they look so much like a fair dinkum junction with those long sweeping rails. This boy is going to have some wonderful times with this. Extremely well done.
You should get a sponsorship from Mountain Dew. The slogan could be “tastes great and the weight is just right!”
there is going to be some nice long trains running on that track plan. very nice sir.
Yes, the client always wanted be to able to run long trains. The whole layout has been worked out with 1/2-mile trains in mind (about 30' in HO scale).
As always, very interesting to follow the progress on this massive layout. It's disappointing when you forget to check the focus. Love your carpentry and track laying skills. (and the layout design of course).
Very impressive. This layout is going to be a monster when finished.
It already is a monster.
Hi Peter & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Peter & Friends Randy
This is turning out to be an amazing Layout. Still cant visualize the finished article. Fantastic
Try revisiting the design videos at the start of the play-list. That might help.
@@mpeterll Thanks. I will.
excellent as always
well done! Hopefully you show us the next time the slide in section how you solve the handover
"Handover"? I was wondering about how the power would be handled once installed at the client's home. Are the two halves fed separately via looping aound the layout, or are they connected at the slide-in section somehow? Wires running overhead hidden on/in the ceiling?
Love those fast track turnouts Peter 👍
Me too. I always try to find room for #10s on the main line wherever possible.
That's Nice Work...
Zeus needs a new bed!
For fun you need to build a Mt. Dew can hauling car in HO. BTW very enjoyable channel.
Nah, the scale is all wrong. However if I worked in O-scale, I'd probably have run a long DOFC train (dew-on-flat-car) by now, just for fun.
Hello Peter. I really enjoy your channel and admire your knowledge and skills.
Could you please explain the color coding of your track wiring? It would be greatly appreciated. Take care.
Normally, I just have about 3 or 4 different colored pairs of wire for the track feeds, but with the signalling system and the provision for transponding that this client wants. I need a lot of small blocks. As only one rail needs to be separated, the other can have the same color for an entire power district. I use one of the "dull-B" wires for the common return (Blue, Black, or Brown), and a different color for the other rail, ensuring that I don't have two adjacent rails with the same color.
In yard areas with a lot of parallel tracks, the colored wires are in alphabetical order, starting at the aisle.
One last wrinkle, is that I also need a pair of wires for the 12vDC supply to the switch machines and circuit boards. On all my earlier railroads, I used yellow and purple (purple being positive), so I've done the same here. Wherever yellow and purple wires are adjacent, they are for the 12vDC supply, while if they are separated by at least one other color, they are track power.
"I don't have a 10 mile radius template" Oh, the problems some people can have 🙂
Now that I have a local supplier with a CNC router, I might one day commission him to make me a set of very large radius templates.
Look great as usual. Question that you have probably answered many times. What do you glue your track down with.
"Crafter's Pick", from Hobby Lobby.
Dew you drink all of that M Dew, or only use it as track weighting? Maybe this is the Mountain Dew main line express.
Yes, this railroad features block trains of the stuff.
Impressive job as always! Where do you buy your plywood from, not from the big box stores I would think. They never have any that nice.
It's Baltic birch, which I get from a local joinery shop.
Thank you!
What is the black roadbed you are using? It looks like there is a peel-off backing? Thanks. Enjoying the episodes.
It's the material that I sell in my web-store (link in the description).
3,286th!🚂👍👍👍👍✌️
You could fill empty cans with sand to make a huge number of weights at almost no cost.
I could do that but there would be nothing gained. I'd have to seal the opening to stop the sand spilling out, and that takes time, which is money. There's also the problem that as soon as the can is opened and the internal pressure is released, the paper-thin aluminum is no longer rigid. Lastly, I eventually drink all the dew so I would be buying them anyway - meaning that the soda-filled weights are already free even though the sand-filled ones wouldn't be.

Wish I had the deep pockets to have you lay all these rails on my next layout.
For this one, $250,000 USD? Close or not lol?
