Out Door Santa Clause

track-laying (first part)

acoustic insulation for the tracks I decided to use cork in sheets of 30x30 cm and a thickness of 2 mm. Will be two layers of cork to create a slight gap between the top of the rail main line / siding and sever the rail level.


sheets are pasted with glue and diluted finished cutter.
After defining the position of switches and the position of the lines of hose with numerous tests to dry the track-laying began.
Before gluing the track, I called the power points which in this case will be about 20 feeders made of welded shoes.
The number of feeds may seem excessive, but I wanted to focus on the affinabilità the path feeding each and every piece of flexible turnout by at least two sides so that a evenuale oxidation / no electrical contact does not lead to discontinuation in a shoe ' current output.
This is an image where you can see the group of seven switches on the west side of the track (and its feeders) just before bonding.


To prevent the glue from penetrating into the hinges of the needles of the switches that I physically isolated area of \u200b\u200bthe exchange with the use of a small piece of tape.
