Tracks

This webpage is about the techniques and tools for laying the tracks, turnouts and decoupling solenoids for my TT model railway.

Contents:


Track laying

The ballast

Here I show how the strips of foam are laid. On these strips will come the track.

Slots for switches

In this video I show how the slots are made for allowing the points of a turnout to move.

Checking turnouts

It is important to check that current is flowing through all rail parts of the switch.
