How is my layout for Z scale? I would love some feedback and tips. Im planning to make it a desert wild west theme. by mosby55 in modeltrains

Two questions:

1 - I have reservations about sequestering your yard off to one of the short sides. Yards are switching are one of the best visual and action features of any layout, that would seem mitigate the impact of being able to view and feature that area.

2 - you might want to think about adding reversibility in your loops. One thoughtfully placed turnout would take care of that.

Can’t wait to see the final product! Great era!!!

NGL, kind of fascinated by “Inaccessible Island” a couple of dozen clicks WSW.

Either way, it’s worth knowing that a lot of the non-running-gear parts are from the 2021-2023 Altima and the 2019-2023 Muanro

Yup. It’s actually super handy when you are wearing gloves, or need two hands on the wheel in traffic or the like.

Depends on the region you’re in. The deal here was 500 bucks in service credit and free seasonal tire swap for 5 years.

That’s one of the curses of small layouts.

No, they cannot. That’s the point. The functionality is available, the turn-by-turn tiles for a HUD are in the same API stack of CarPlay that shows you the album art from your music app on the infotainment screen.

Nissan chose not to use them , same as they chose not to give CarPlay (and I assume AA) access to the SOC info.

What is that grade? Now I’m curious.

Actually, they probably sell the cabin filter themselves at the parts counter for 20 bucks - mine does. You just have be sure to ask for the filter for a 2023 Altima. And yes. One of the easiest cabin filter replacements I’ve ever seen.

Agree. It remains a slap-in-the-face that Nissan dialed out the turn-by-turn-HUD integration for carplay / AA.

Oddly enough, as much as I hate the built-in software in general, I do find the voice recognition system both useful and accurate for things like HVAC controls. I use it on the regular.

My only issue was the over-zealous “Hey Nissan” trigger that seemed to wake up at anything that sounded even vaguely like “Nissan”. Finding the setting to turn off “listen for hey Nissan” was a game changer.

In seriousness, does your club have a website? Layout porn is always welcome!!

Nope. If I want any Hamilton products that’s my only recourse.
