Ideally you would have one return loop at one end with another on the opposite with a line (or two) in the middle maybe leading to a station or a couple of industries.
you have up to 32 feet of running length. If you wanted you could do an end to end with a curve in it. So, one industry at one end and on other on the other end with a few sidings maybe a station along the way.
Going on from my own thread. I'm quite interested to see how I could wire up a traversed fiddle yard I have a few ideas but at the moment am a little confused.
You could use hair spray but Javis do a pva type glue that once watered down 50:50 and a couple of drops of washing up liquid it works well for sealing in ground cover
I also use a point to control the current flow and from my experience Ive had very few/ if any problems with 0-4-0s or 4wdms (I'm the case of the sentinel) and it works fine. Even on the Hornby points with the large black zones. I haven't tried it on any other style of points tho.
Ive just finished building a new layout and the thought popped into my head.
Does track go dead over time, obviously I don't want to be digging up track 3 months after I've built the layout.
Any help would be appreciated.
From what I've seen 'quads' pulled them for the majority, but troop carriers pulled them and there were a few self propelled variants of the 25 pounder.
