Train sets!

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

kind of like that, yes

Why? That just sounds like uneedes work, what is a turntable going to do on that set up anyway.

the turntable is for the first part of the 2nd phase, and the upper level will give me more tracks to run my trains on

Ok, can you provide me a picture of your train set when you can? Just so I can visiualize this better.

I agree with [Only mods are allowed to see this link] with a picture

I have some pics of this setup from its early days but there aren't any new ones available at the present time.

Is it possible for someone to take a new picture or even maybe a video and post it? It would help me better visualize this.

I will try and do this during my next visit.

Ok thanks, it would help greatly .

cool, I will do my best

Ok thanks .

just hope the trains can pass the grades

There are tests?

Not sure what u mean by the term "tests" but its always good to try and use a new model before installing it on a model train layout in order to make sure it works. Its also a good idea to have a way of safely removing it so that the device can be repaired/replaced without too much damage done to the layout itself.

OH dear... I forgot to qoute Mtvfan in my reply... that is what I meant by are there tests.

haha, no, not that kind of test, by grades i mean the inclines to climb the hill, if my trains can't pass the grade of hill, they will not make it up to the 2nd level

Whate is the grade you are reffering to?

perhaps these online articles may help explain things:

I also have some new photos of the setup that MTV and I have nearby, but I'm not entirely sure how to upload them to here at the moment. Once I learn the upload controls I will get these posted on here.

Click the image uploader. It is an icon 3 over to the left of the youtube icon.

grades are what the railroads call hills, as the gradients are what they have to try and get over

ok, thanks. I have yet to download these photos to my computer at present but it won't take too long.

Ok no problem

still hoping the grades on the train setup are easy enough for my trains to pass over without much trouble

Are they set up yet?
