  1. I might be overthinking/worrying about nothing but while searching for suggestions on track cleaners I found a topic about Track Magic making Setrack brittle (being a solvent). This then got me thinking about the track weathering I wanted to do and would the paint cause any issues, looking at using Sleeper Grime Enamel Aerosol Railmatch-1406. Has anyone ever had any issues with Peco Setrack and painting/weathering and the sleepers going brittle?
  2. How many signals would you want to have on servos? I've been working on a servo controller system using an Arduino Uno and some other components but it's geared more towards controlling many rather than a few.
  3. Do you have a link to the code or instructions for your setup? The Nano will have built in pull up resistors which can be enabled within the code.
  4. I like the left bit, is a lot simpler than I came up with A double crossover would have been nice but I'm limited by setrack with it's angles. The left bit on the grey is somewhat temporary so we've got a layout we can run until another one is done and they can be joined. Tweaked it to get 4 lines from the fiddle yard.
  5. You're not wrong I was just throwing some ideas about and as it's on a non scenic part wouldn't have to look pretty.
  6. Thanks, I forgot to mention some ambitious future plans so it currently looks like there's more sidings. It will require making some custom turnouts but I'd like to join the 4 lines on the lower left to complete the loop and diverge off to another future layout.
  7. I'm hoping access wont be to hard. The right side will be where the bedroom door opens too so I'll be able to get more access behind from that side. I've used setrack for ease (and we were given a load of points already) to get a workable layout going. This one is for a friend who's more interested in being able to run trains than things looking prototypical. Sidings are just to add a bit of variety, unlikely he'll want to do any shunting but they'll provide some space for some abandoned wagons I'm thinking of using 63mm x 38mm timber with 9mm Ply. If it's glued and screwed I don't think the Ply will sag.
  8. This one is for a friend so he can run trains, mostly modern era, no particular region. He's got a GWR Azuma and waiting on the LNER Azuma too plus a steam loco and coaches to represent a heritage tour. The plan is to have a J shaped layout with another one using code 55 that will join to this. I did try to avoid the setrack points but they do allow a bit more in the space available. I've got 3rd and 4th radius at the ends apart from the curved points due to them being 2nd/3rd. We tried the new Azuma and it seems to navigate them OK on a little test track. A steam loco we tried would derail running tender first though.
  9. Hi All, Apart from dabbling in a bit of T Gauge I've not had a layout for nearly 20 years but as a bedroom is becoming free I'm wanting to get back into modelling. This time I'll be going for N Gauge having previously done OO. I've been using AnyRail to get a plan going and just looking for feedback/thoughts and if there's any potential issues I might have missed. The baseboard sizes are a bit odd but leaves room for expansion later. Thanks, Alex.
