A4mallard Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I have it wired on each level and all the storage tracks are wired individually but all the rail is soldered on the joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A4mallard Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 it's mounting card, it's the board the used for picture framing. metcalfe paving slabs for the corner stones and edging. the stone effect is done with fine ballast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnthebox Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 A4, BosKoay asked a question don't know if you got a chance to answer,which I would very much appreciate if you don't mind, " how did you handle the radii and spacing? " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A4mallard Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 burnthebox, when I was originally marking out the 8x4 sheets for cutting, I marked out the track radius at the same time. I used peco track gauge for the spacing. regards bren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
