CNM's train layout construction thread

that is promising, how long will they take to install?

I have to drill through the foam and wood base.. so probably 5 mins a signal.

They will be un-wired for now since the electronics aren't available from my hobby shops supplier.. He said it'll be a few weeks before they are.

Signals will look similar to these once electronics are installed.

Yeah I'll have the physical signals up tomorrow once I get home from everything..

So you'll be able to see them on the layout they just won't be operating till I can get the circuitry.

Just two.. for now

Funny thing is.. I had the hobby shop order these for me.. the owner saw what they looked like and made a large order to have in stock..

Eventually I'll have more to wire in :crazydance:
