      Good choice. congrats. I have the Marklin HO version with sound including the railbus rattle. Put in some passengers and interior lighting and it will look great. Looks like it might need a driver although perhaps there is one and is just not clear in the pic.


      Great loco.

        Hi all!


        I’ve been working the entire weekend on the layout.


        Now, the all the tracks are fixed with screws....


        And I redesigned all this part. I’m looking for a softer curve and have a major area on the “village” zone.






        I added the mechanical system for the turnouts as well.






        And I’ve been starting on the general electrical installation.






        I’m looking for an easy layout for my father....so I decided to active all the turnouts with normal switches.






        This is the last step. I’m adding different points for a correct and homogeneous electric power around the track.










        Thanks for looking

            Thanks!!


            I changed the normal xip for a digital one. And the locomotive comes with the external and interior lighting


            No...there isn't any passenger or driver...


            So could be nice to add them

                  Hi all.


                  I am starting the light’s installation on the finished houses. I will try with this kind....if it not works, I will try Leds or others.






                  I had done a new piece. Seems not much, but I have a major area on the village zone.


                  I failed on the station building....is so big, so I will change for a smaller one






                  Thanks for looking

                      Really nice. You are working hard to get it finished. Pity you could not keep the turnouts working with a computer system but I agree using switches does make it easier and saves a lot of wiring. Marklin use decoders for switching their turnouts so no wiring with current coming from the track to the computer.


                      Good choice for the lighting which although the bulbs take up more power the LEDs will flicker without a rectifier.


                      Your father will be very pleased with the layout I am sure.

                        It's true...the C-System by Marklin is magnificent


                        Is my option for the next layout!


                        Thank you very much for your help and comments

                                This is looking really very good Polux....... I'm not really a train type person. But your work on this is very impressive.
