Been laying track for phase 2 of our 7’x14’ layout. Features a #6 double crossover and several #6 curved turnouts and flex track from Walther’s. Code 83 for a more realistic appearance. First time to use Walther’s Code 83 track. Reminds us of the old Shinohara track that was popular in the 1980s. We currently have the track laid and pinned with track pins prior to being nailed down. Waiting on two pieces of Atlas 3” 22r curve sections for the two open sections coming off of of curved turnouts from the yard. Next, to power each section and control each block of track before permanently mounting the track to the sub roadbed. Used sheet cork approximately 3/16” (0.09mm) for the underlayment from Hobby Lobby.
Stay tuned as we continue this project…
