I want a siding on my layout. A siding gives me more options for
operating my trains. I have come this idea a bit closer and I have chosen to go with a factory
from Faller. I think the building has a size that fits my idea well and it has some visual
interest.
What is the best thing you can do for your model railway
scenery? My answer is: Paint your rails. I see lots of layouts with stunning scenery but nobody
cared to paint the rails. It just takes away some of the realism. If not doing anything else, at
least I can paint the rails. So this is what I did.
After having converted the track bed to NOCH ballast mat I
have started to use the catenary with the small feet that you can put under the C-track. Because
the track bed is not as wide as required I have some huge gabs underneath the track because the
mast lifts the track upwards. In this post I solve this problem using a screwdriver, some glue
and some more ballast mat.
I want to bring more interesting features to my exhibition
layout. I like to give my visitors something new to look at each year. The past year I have
upgraded the scenery on parts of the layout. This time I am looking into the track plan itself.
I want to make it easier to lay track and reconfigure the track plan. NOCH has a product that
solves just that!
