First topic message reminder :

that is a matter of discretion, but so far it's been my old house, my current job, and my trains

by **TigerTankFan** Tue 10 Feb 2015, 9:12 pm

I am hosting them on my computer now, but I'm not sure if people will get to see them

Where is the grade at? It has not been put yet? Nice photos by the way! Thank you so much for sharing Smile

The railroad grade hasn't been made yet, but is coming very soon.

by 1mtvfan Wed 11 Feb 2015, 5:30 pm

the grades are starting in the corners on the set up

by **Brandon** Wed 11 Feb 2015, 5:50 pm

Looks like a busy railroad you have there! That is a new transformer by the way. One of the nice modern ones. Smile

by **TigerTankFan** Wed 11 Feb 2015, 6:08 pm

I'm not too sure how new our power packs/throttles are, but they are the ones that we're using for the time being. I have lists of everything that the railroad owns on my computer, but there are some items that haven't been listed yet.

yes, the black thing in the one picture is the power transformer, it also controls the speed of the train, but it may be moving to another place to help keep it out of future photos. i'd add some videos, but i don;t know how to do that without posting them to youtube first

Hi all! You may be interested to know that the early work on the approach to this setup's 2nd level has begun now. Unfortunately its only early work, and will probably be disassembled, but such is a very significant step from the setup's early days in November 2013.

The only other way to do it is to include the video as an attachment but I really do not want to do that way, it uses up bandwidth and internal memory space. If you post it please use Yotube. Neutral

i will if i can figure it out

by **bgradionetwork** Tue 17 Feb 2015, 4:40 pm

How is progress coming?

by 1mtvfan Tue 17 Feb 2015, 5:59 pm

2nd level on phase 2 is progressing, have made it to a station area, but have to secure it down to add tracks

by **Brandon** Tue 17 Feb 2015, 6:03 pm

So when is it expected to be fully functioning?

by 1mtvfan Tue 17 Feb 2015, 6:35 pm

not sure, because the plan is to add a reverse loop, and helix down to the rest of the set up

by **Brandon** Tue 17 Feb 2015, 6:55 pm

A reverse loop? What is that?

by 1mtvfan Tue 17 Feb 2015, 10:22 pm

it's a way to turn locomotives around without a turntable, or if the locomotive is too long for a turntable

by **Brandon** Tue 17 Feb 2015, 10:31 pm

How does it work? What does it look like?

by 1mtvfan Tue 17 Feb 2015, 10:53 pm

it's a loop, one piece of track, the locomotive goes in one way, but goes out the same way, just turned around

by **bgradionetwork** Wed 18 Feb 2015, 9:05 am

Is there a photograph? Like from google or something?

by 1mtvfan Wed 18 Feb 2015, 4:31 pm

not necessary, one just has to think hard about it, and they will come up with it
