Since my model railroad project is going to be a long-term thing, I'm taking my time getting used to basic stuff like building cardboard ramps to play with steepness levels. Old packaging is very useful for that.

I'm only experimenting right now, not even prototyping anything. But the eventual track layout slowly comes together in my head.

I'm still not sure wether or not to use those #Minitrix tracks. I really fancy that #Kato #UniTrack with the grey roadbed. But it's quite costy and I already have those Minitrix tracks from ages ago.

A question to you #ModelRailroad people out there, do you think the improvised bridge ramps are too steep?

P.S.: spent about an hour just watching the train go round in circles, what a relaxing experience ...

@CommodoreSpence Just to feed the fire: today I've successfully digitized my first old analog locomotive ... 😇​

Transforming an old analog N-Gauge diesel locomotive to DCC digital control.
It's cheaper to get old analog #Locos and upgrade them with a #Decoder than buying a factory new digital model.
