I am a MR since 1995 ans I have every MR since that day of november. I always buy your ideas for better results and to save to rebuilt twice the same work. This time I am searching the new way to ballast a new section with grout and sand with Dana technique to ballast my KEVRO RR.

David,

Another Great update. Granted the Video Quality is Low (resolution). It looks like you have some large gaps (Scale 6" to 8") in you rails joints. Is it just hte way the video looks or is it a big gaps? If so do you plan on leaving the gaps or will there be a fix to fill in the gaps

Thanks

I understand there are different ways to nearly everything on a layout, but why not solder your feeders on the bottom of your track? They are so much more hidden and you don’t have the blob on the side of the rail. There’s been great care taken to plan your addition, so why not modify the plan to accomodate soldering the feeders to the track before laying it? Granted, track that is already layed may be difficult to solder to the underside of the rail, but hidding it well, to me is the name of the game to make track work look especially nice and as prototypical as possible.

Great to see the progress. Look forward to seeing the finished project. How about a DVD of the whole MR&T layout in operation when Bay Junction is complete? I am sure you could sell loads, or maybe use it as a subscription renewal gift…(just an idea!). Keep up the good work guys and thanks for very enjoyable videos.

when is the ext video?

I suggest soldering the feeder wires to the bottom of the rail as you are installing it. This method hides the wire and solder and you don’t have to try to hide it later.

Mike’s comment X 2!!! But enjoy the update. (Tell Cody about your sound technique—much better! :>)

I love all your videos. It’s good to read a how-to in the magazine but seeing it happen is even better. You guys have the best job - you actually get paid to play with trains. Can’t beat that!

Where did all of the nitpickers come from??

11

Its great to see how things get done as progress continues. Good job guys. Thanks for these videos!

12

Great video you guys are getting better with every video.

13

Great video as always, it would be really great to be a staff member at Walthers.

Great job! Always look forward to you many great tips and ideas. Like to transfer some of these ideas to my own 4 x 8 layout. I can run trains but have no theme to speak of.

In workshop there is a layout/module on wheels in the background. Is this a new project?

Thanks for the soldering tip! Helped me greatly. As always great job MR staff.

Thanks for the bit about soldering the feeder wires. It is easier to understand watching the steps as you take them.

18

Always enjoy the info and great to see things in phases, super team there at MR - Thnx

why didn,t you turn the feeder wire sideways allowing for more contact area?

Good stuff, keep it up!
