My Husband Hates My New Short Haircut

A PLACE TO EXPOSE THE ROLLING

to mount a model of 3 meters long by 45 cm wide in a double room from just 3.20 x 2.80 meters is usually cause for marital conflict, but when it occupies spaces for locating personal belongings and family as is the entire top surface of three furniture occupying an entire side of a small environment. However, despite the unusual that means a facility of this size on that site, my "holy woman" took pity on my soul when, in December last year collapsed wall display case with almost everything ferromodelĂ­stica Rolling Stock , so we decided to use the space previously described to expose it there.



This new model, with the electrical system before analog, digital now consists of two modules, one of 155 x 45 cm and the other 160 x 40 cm, leaving a margin of only 5 cm between the wall and wall to allow insertion between the system engages.
The difference in width is to leave a space of 8 cm between the module and the upper edge of the furniture to allow fixture of the management console.
The following is the final design I used for the disposal of run, where you will notice that it will continue into one of the cabinets where the main track will be divided into two to save up to two formations then return to base.



The idea was from the beginning tended to make it as easy as possible to expose as much rolling stock available (not much), but only be room for some locomotives and freight cars (put one of each class) for no charge both ways and thus allow a better part of the scenic splendor.
So I decided to put a main road with a passenger station and a garden fork into a freight train with three ways to park cars and machines, a moat and a small workshop with input for a locomotive at a time.



The layout has seven diversions, of which 4 will be mobile and other fixed direction, and there are magnets on the tracks (marked with black dots on the map) to allow separation of the cars with your machine , while the red dots indicated the places where it had power cuts to allow the stationing of locomotives with the analog system.



These shots show as was the wiring of the model before scanning and its connection to the console through a tab 25 contacts. They can also be seen diversions engines and subject of both modules by a rectangle of plywood and screws, the subject is reinforced on both sides with a piece of frame and screws.




The union of the track between modules: Installed leaving the tracks until a few inches from the edge of each module in its union with another, add the remaining piece of track to achieve the extension of the rails at all sections, together with splints carefully at the time of the insert. This procedure allows me in the future without raising separate pathways modules already installed, remove the pieces just mentioned.



These photos show where they are located a couple of detours fixed position in the freight yard, which will include the installation of the other hidden under the dash. Extension can also be seen holding in eyelashes motion to allow the insertion of needles.



console before scanning used: it had two drivers, a commanding main road movements and the other in the courtyard of loads, both tell of course with a corresponding reversal switch gears. Then there were the ten switches for power outages in portions of parking and eight buttons to move the hands of mobile diversions. The same was fed with a transformer 12 volt 1 amp, alcanzbaa to move a machine at a time and up to two if you want less power and detours.



Central New Digital: This unit allows you to add two analog controllers through one port of entry that is in the rear, which enables me to control up to 3 digital engines at once and do not abandon all the old control system.



in this sector tended geographic payment shall in principle represent a road for light vehicles, but my two wives at home suggested it would be better to make a stream flowing beneath the tracks.



footage in these last two characters who are directly involved in the project: one is the one who signs up for the task start-up and the other driver I hired to check the electrical functioning of the model. This time
trying to steady the power of the steamer Frateschi (saved it entirely to the fall of the cabinet) dragging a couple of old passenger cars from the same brand.
