At Waldbrunn station, I’m going to use Viessmann semaphore and shunting signals. Now, they’re quite realistic as they are, but there’s still some room for improvement. During a visit to the German station of Meppen, just across the border near Emmen, I found a setup with 4 semaphore signals and
Noch has produced a whole range of fun and beautiful bridges made from lasercut cardboard. I think this truss bridge looks great as an entrance on the right side of the station. That’s why I chose the NOCH 67029. As mentioned, it’s a lasercut cardboard kit. I was actually quite
This time, I’ve hidden the wires I soldered in Part 1. As mentioned, I always solder the wires neatly to the sides. Today, I routed them downwards following a few simple steps: Quite boring, but that’s all there is to it. I did make another timelapse and took some good
Now that the rails are glued in the station, it’s high time to apply the wiring for the blocks, sensors, and turnout polarization. In my daily work at Domburg Train Support building automated model layouts, I’ve learned a few tricks to minimize the chance of errors and keep efficiency optimal.
The tracks are down at Waldbrunn station. After laying the main turnout area last weekend and letting the glue cure, I was able to install the remaining tracks. It’s a job where staying calm is key. We often tend to work quickly for fear of the glue drying too fast.
After the warm weather of the past few weeks, it was finally time to get back to work. Once I approved the test layout, I could start laying the tracks for real. The first step was to trace around the tracks so I could glue the cork neatly in the
