General Discussion / Re: Cleaning Moldy Tracks

Are you sure it's mold and not mildew?  Mold usually needs a food source, whereas mildew just kind of covers things.

I just picked up the 2024 catalog from the hobby shop. While the picture used is of a prototype engine, they do have for sale CP#57 w/ wood load, B&O#147 w/ coal load, UP#1010 w/ wood load, and PRR#417 w/ coal load.

If it's the same as the HO version, then yes. The trolley will cross onto the last track and stop for a few seconds, then continue in the opposite direction.

Sorry for the late (only) reply, I've been off site for a while.

Quote from: BubbleBuddyFan on July 06, 2024, 11:28:04 PMI think Bachmann would be working on Thomas Cabooses in HO/OO Scale and N Scale at some point in the future. I didn't get a chance to get these Thomas Cabooses from Shapeways for last time. Shapeways Website isn't working right now! Just chill and calm down, okay.
Shapeways is filing for bankruptcy.

Yep, thanks for that response. I contacted Bachmann and got the same answer.

Only wish that point had been made more clearly in the email promo that I received!?!?

Understand that the transmitter you wish to use on some scale rolling stock is not going to work.  Basically, Bachmann's only controller that I know of is "Dynamis E-Z Command Wireless DCC Model Railroad Control module, model 36505.  It has an Infrared (IR) frequency somewhere in the 300 GHz – 430 THz, while your dynam primo has a frequency of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. With that low a frequency it's to slow (data rate) for IR.

Hope this answers your question.

HO / Re: Designing HO scale Delta t...
Last post by Ralph S - July 09, 2024, 12:11:57 PM
I stand corrected.   Thanks, having an electrical background instead of a railroad background I used what I normally would have used in working with 3 electrical loads (see image).

Therefore, I concluded that this "wye" track was a "delta" track (which looks very much like a delta network) instead of what railroaders have termed it.

Okay,
Quote...leave the mainline tracks alone and insert your gaps in the rails of the curved sections. That way, the entire "tail" of the wye will be your reversing section.
When you say "tail" you mean the upper portion (at the top of the image) of the wye.  This means I do not have to cut into any track, since I normally use track insulators (Atlas #55) since Bachmann only makes straight gaped track and does not make gapped track for a curve. 

As you can see in the (simplified) electrical diagram, it's not easy to visualize the railroader's "wye" as an electrical circuit compared to the electrical "delta" circuit.  The crossover is easily understandable.  Gapping the converging upper end of the "wye", i.e. delta does isolate the mainline and the crossover.  I'll have to use Bachmann 's Automatic Reversing Loop Module (44912) instead of using a simple relay at the crossover the due to the dual gaps and/or convergence track.

Hopefully, I'm not confusing the real railroaders.  I apologize for the incorrect OP (Opening Post) stating delta instead of wye.
