This video shows the start of laying the mainline tracks on the scenic area of my n-gauge model railway. The layout includes inclines leading towards an underpass and bridge. There is discussion of precision woodwork, fitting dummy sleepers, soldering dropper wires and using copper clad sleepers to secure track across board joints.

Gotta love extra progress on the train line. main track laying is my favourite 🙂
I would like to offer a suggestion to the table saw operations. Your blade only needs to be about one tooth height above what you are cutting. It places most of the blade under your table and away from soft stuff. A miter gauge if you have one or a sliding cross cut jig you could build (seeYT) would work best for the short pieces cuts. The layout is looking good.
your attention to accuracy is only to be commended,Well done on the progress so far,not long till all the track is completed.
It is interesting that you chose to have the lower tracks on the inside with high tracks on the outside.
the dewalt oscilating tool might been good instead of the saw
It’s nice to see you progress along the way, the attention to accuracy and detail is excellent. Looking forward to more updates, cheers for now, John
Very good.
Great video again, really interested in how you are getting your s/w 3rd Planit to help you create the base board design to the point where you can print off as templates I am using SCARM which I hope has a similar function, if not I might be changing.. Tx for the great content, Mark
Great progress, and some of the finest weights I have seen used!
