Bachmann Brill Trolley

[Terry Toenges]

I finally got my Bachmann Brill Trolley set-up running. It goes kind of fast but it was hard to program this thing and I'm not going to mess with it. You might want to turn the sound down. It's noisy with my oxygen concentrator running in the  background.

I used regular track. I cut strips of card stock to glue over the ties in the center. On the ends of the ties, I glued strips of 1/4" matte pin stripe tape. That way, it looks more like trolley track and not railroad track. I couldn't use E-Z track because of the 8" radius curve at the near end.  That meant I had to use a different reversing set-up.

To keep the curves, I bent the track and pinned it to the layout. Then, I went along and put a dab of white glue on the outside of the rail on each tie. Once it dried, I was able to pick up the two track pieces to paint them and they still retained their shape. After that I glued the card stock and tape.
