Tomix Door layout

Recommended Posts

Well, since I received notification that my tracks has made it stateside and on its way. I did revise the siding for the Station and warehouse in the upper right of the photo. Since I didn't order any extra tracks. I just swapped some around. I wanted the warehouse closer to my town area. Just trying to make it look more symmetrical and realistic.

Hello everyone! Sorry I didn’t fully forget about you. I have been very busy on my layout since my last post. Here’s some up to date photos that I took earlier today and yesterday. A big difference from the beginning. Will be posting more photos after this post.

Well since I am waiting for extra funds to purchase some more of my track for my layout. I took it upon myself to make an oval to "test" out some of my new locomotives. Here is a video of me testing one of my intermountain SD40-2's under DC not DCC. I did find that it worked great by running it between 40-70 on my MRC 1500 controller. You will need the volume up on this.

Today I received the stickers for the road crossing. The last photo is my F7’s in action. Yes, all of the F7’s are powered. I don’t have any non DCC or dummy locomotives in my collection. Running DCC has made running my layout easier than DC. I have my Digitrax DCS52 as the power supply. I don’t use the throttle on the DCS52 for normal operations. I have the Digitrax LNWI loconet, controlling the trains by using my phone through the WiThrottle app. I only use the throttle on the DCS52 whenever I am cleaning the wheels on my test track. Which is an old Kato straight track piece with an short piece that’s soldered to the attached wires. I also use the DCS52 for setting up the locomotives and resetting the decoders if needed and other DCC functions.

Hello beak boy,

Right now I have sound decoders in my two BLI and four Intermountain SD40-2’s they are stock ESU’s for the Intermountain and paragon 4 for the BLI locomotives. I also have one in my Atlas locomotives also, it’s a Digitrax. The rest are DCC only.

Here’s some more updates on my layout. I added Christine the car from the Steven King book and the movie. There’s two different ones. The completed version and the scorched one . The later has lights added to her and I placed her in the alleyway as she is planning her next attack. Yes, it’s a model of the 1958 Plymouth Fury 01673764-B491-4600-870B-CCAD37508CF1.thumb.jpeg.fc63d89a22b8eb168a7b172240318787.jpegFFE5C006-C9AC-41A8-AA41-259976E6C427.thumb.jpeg.90c8c43e790576adeb8a3d6459523956.jpeg8EE6E372-97C9-4E59-84B9-A67D7575DF10.thumb.jpeg.ca8b06af61de51be4c3872cf009939b1.jpeg14E8F95A-CB1E-4757-8107-9BE940A6CBC6.thumb.jpeg.a238cab4af04a2696b8c00982dec9692.jpegB28F6DAF-DB98-47AB-B9FD-733A07E80D53.thumb.jpeg.8b150e99e58dc58737c21f2431902961.jpeg8F589A76-2233-486F-8851-4130D073A218.thumb.jpeg.6e9f5748a8c7964cf02ad56f0a1d1ce6.jpeg10614987-1F73-44D9-95CA-327953B50FF6.thumb.jpeg.a9fafd5da1823f9431e0f4fdaf06b37f.jpeg8E0EEE28-A487-4F00-9D06-214F93F2DA23.thumb.jpeg.2825414b06fc91a2317f8cb0c6318df0.jpeg6B3F4495-D7C5-4811-8BC2-9F5B41B2F7EC.thumb.jpeg.3395843231e8dfba358f2c2cc46115a3.jpeg

Here’s the vehicle’s from three different movies. I added the burnt Christine in this group. Due to file size I have to add the other Christine separate.7EE4EC37-6473-4172-8558-A8093D203734.thumb.jpeg.5fc493ac219291330d12aa6fca75c1f5.jpeg0D8E2A86-F9F8-499C-BF35-C19280A92253.thumb.jpeg.0818f54922558351dbb85175c6984eb7.jpegB57F8DB0-4AB2-49F0-AF70-C0BBE9D262B4.thumb.jpeg.d1e48ba228a869c5626c96778c460fd1.jpeg
