Since my last post, I’ve spent the majority of my time tuning my wiring and
track. I haven't made much structural progress, but I've spend a lot of
hours adjustments to my track to ensure my engines and rolling stock run as
smooth as possible. As this is my first layout, every aspect of this project
is a huge learning curve.
When I originally laid my track, I did not realize how extremely important
it was to ensure track was perfectly level, especially through curves and
grades. Even the smallest inconsistency in track level is often enough to
derail an engine. I found that these deviations were most common where two
pieces of track joined together. To solve this, I made sure both adjoining
pieces were perfectly level then soldered them together. I then lightly
sanded the joint until it was perfectly smooth. For areas where the actual
trackbed wasn’t level, I used thin foam shims under the track to keep the
track perfectly level.
I spent a lot of time running each of my engines back and forth over several
section of problem track, closely watching each wheel to make sure it wasn’t
lifting off the track. I managed to work out all the problem areas I was
having and everything runs a lot smoother. I also had to make a few small
adjustments with my wiring, but nothing major.
I am now into the planning stages of building the actual ground terrain
and elevations of my layout, which I hope to have completed by the end of
May. I’m also trying to find the best way to build the standards for my
trackside signals to mount to.
