Hi fellow Zetties Thanks for the kind words. I will start with the Barge Layout this weekend.
Any suggestions on feeder cables for small -/+ 2ft by 4ft figure 8 with a 90 degree crossing? One feeder per half?
So far I've had one feeder for the whole which worked ok. Thanks for any suggestions
BR Boris

Hello Zetties I got busy this morning and started carving the shape for my Barge Layout out of a sheet of insulation board..aand formed some scenery, followed by a test run with a mixed combo of MTL/AZL and 3d printed cars. All went well, even some hapyy little Trees are giving some color to it. BR Boris

Hi fellow Zetties. The Barge layout is slowly coming along... still need some more track from Rokuhan which si sold out at the moment. Not a problem since time is limited..beeing an active member on a historic steam line limits time somewhat (but more fun than MR'ing..) My 3D printer is busy printing houses, tunnel portals, natural stone bridges etc.. I recently bought an RS3, long term plam is to moify her into an MKT style RS3m with a Geep hood. For the time beeing, she serves as a very smooth running engine for all purposes, under the watchful eyes of one of my cats... BR Boris

Hi fellow Zetties Today I got some serious work done on the Barge Layout. Carved away the foam to form the descent for the tracks leaing down to the Barge, cut and soldered the 2 tracks connceting the Barge with the Mainland, and did a quick test run. The grade pretty hefty, but the Geep has enough oomph to lug a 5 cat consist uphill. I printed some more stuff on the 3D printer.. I put everthing in a box and store it for the moment.
With summer like weather on the way I will cut work on the Barge Layout to a minimum in favor of outdoor hobbies

Boris, Nice work so far. I enjoyed the video of your cat. The grade to the barge does look steep, can you lessen it any?

I will try to either lessen it or add some thin foam to the lake level. ( when you grow up in a country with steep gradient train lines you probably loose all fear🤣🤣🤣) BR Boris

Hi fellow Zetties No progress on the layout... but at least a brand new engine.... I used an old Maerklin E40 drive.. and printed a free "Starship like" shell on my printer.. Have fun
