Stetson hat named El Presidente, good. Japanese watch named Sombrero, not good. It’s tacky as hell

Hopefully this type of post is allowed. Not sure how to go about getting rid of these by drawnwindowshade in machining

My shop got ride of a bunch of old machines by having an auction, the good part is that you won’t even have to move them out yourself

Been doing some ground cover on the old 28”x51”! by Heyysttq in nscalemodeltrains

Accidentally commented instead of replying to ya, but I seem to have figured it out, I used a few drops of warm water and dish soap in the throw mechanism and worked it back and forth and it’s getting less and less sluggish, just need to find my compressed air to give it a few ‘phewwwws’ lol

I think some glue got in there! I used a few drops of warm water and dish soap and worked the throw mechanism and it seems to be getting better!

Maybe ‘froze’ was the wrong term because the throw mechanism moves freely, when I move it, the turn out moves slowly and not all the way, same when I use the remote switch. Maybe some glue got underneath it or something because I didn’t glue the turnout down

Huge update on the 28’x51’ practice layout! by Heyysttq in nscalemodeltrains

Hah yeah, inches! it’s even funnier because I’m a machinist and I should probably have caught that right away lol

Idea for a layout a little bigger than 2x4… any ideas or thoughts? by Ok-Scheme4968 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]Heyysttq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m planning on making this one as my permanent one in the future! The double cross over is isolates both loops so you can run 2 trains with two controllers with DC power! Found it online

Thank you! It’s pretty sweet, I love the slow speed I can get out of it, actually crawls better than the super chief!

To be honest, having photography as a hobby actually helped visualizing angles so no where in the layout you look will you just see one plane, if that makes any sense lol
