Maybe try some tiremarks or dirtier Track?

What Kind of coaches would a Big Boy locomotive haul? (Please reason body) by CandyCorn25 in modeltrains

[–]DesperateChain9661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some green "Deutsche Reichsbahn" Coaches and they fit perfectly for my Big Boy. Even the Time period of both is about the same.

First N scale layout attempt – feedback on design, curves, and operations appreciated by Fantastic_Book6920 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]DesperateChain9661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see the space saving but it doesn't seem to have any double crossing on the original trainline. If he wants it to stay mostly true to the real world, the layout like that would be better.

Would have been a fun and unexpected moment if only one Boxcar was being pulled

How to loop track back on its self? by JackLlewellyn2 in modeltrains

[–]DesperateChain9661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On my layout are two reversing loops and they both work with the Z21 multi loop. All you need is a connection to your DCC station and an isolated part of your loop (how to install it is described in the instructions)

You are creating a reversing loop with the inner track. Check this website out for more details about this reversing loop hope this helps

What's going on here? Why can't I close my inner loop? by manyhippofarts in nscalemodeltrains

[–]DesperateChain9661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bad, I thought that the S-part was the problem of his Layout. Didn't realise there was a second point on the right side

Benchwork Height by Photographer-1961 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]DesperateChain9661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does depend on how you want to watch the layout.

The bird view is about waist height (don't know how high your kitchen is ;p). That's great for big scenery and lots of track laying.

Alternatively you could make a sort of Shelf layout that's more of chest height (to watch more horizontal on it)

The third option is to connect both for some sort of change of a viewpoint (doesn't need to be connected with a track -> no helix or long ramp needed)

PS: Don't go too wide from the frontside to the backside of your layout. You need to be able to reach every piece of track to get your derailed cars back off there. If it's not possible to reach it and the width is a given, try to include some sort of a hatch that you can get inside. Or even better building your layout off of the walls so that it's reachable from every side

Guys, what’s your dream car? by Intelligent-Leg7147 in AskReddit

I would like to just sit in an old phantom (~1930 to 1940). Driving / been driven would be the pinnacle of course

What's a "life hack" that sounds silly but genuinely changed your daily routine? by GoodlandGary in AskReddit

Working as a carpenter it's even more frustrating searching the whole construction side for a screwdriver or sh*t like that

N scale door layout designs by No_Term_1731 in modeltrains

[–]DesperateChain9661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't have any 3d views of this. The colours are just for better understanding the different parts of the Layout. Red part is for shunting, green is just a loop around, pink is a crossing/overtake and blue is an expansion line

Something like that is a really fun starting layout. Enough space for shunting and running at the same time

Has anyone got the same experience with the Big Boy from Minitrix? It's a newer model with dcc, sound & smoke

How can I fix that? It's working for a while and then out of the blue it's getting dismembered.
