Planning Track for Model Train Village

Video Transcript

My name is Kevin Blankeney and we are going to show you how to lay a track for your new model train village. The first step is to select your track. Now there is a lot of different manufactures. This is a more realistic model with the road bed already ported for you. Some of them have connectors that hold the track in place whether it is glued or nailed. This is the Styrofoam base that we aer going to start with but we would get into scoping later. So as you lay out your track you want to first look at your area this is about a 4x4 space which is perfect for a circular track plan. You can also do different track plans elongated, oval. There is a lot of speciality pieces such as crossing, sidings, all different chooses that you can use. Now you want to make sure that your track has connectors on it. These insure proper electrical glow through each rail and probably the most important piece in your track plan. Now as you are laying this out you want to first center it. You can do off center if you like but you want to leave room later on for sculpting. So once you have selected your track you'd laid out everything, you are ready to talk about your base and that is the next step.
