- 14. Take advantage of sick kid “proof of concept” Learned a lot! EARLY OPERATIONS These tracks need to be long! Ran out of staging tracks Roundhouse and turntable make this layout a lot of fun!
- 15. WHAT’S THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN?DE-RISK FIRST WITH A PROOF OF CONCEPT
- 16. 3D PRINTED SWITCH TIES Rail braces and slide plates printed on ties Ideal for 3D printing - Quality less of a concern - Thousands of possible combinations - Costs continue to come down Half tie
- 17. HIDDEN THROW ROD Throw rod hidden under tie switch rods to scale P87 Stores point reinforcing Hard to get this right Points want to rotate

- 27. WHAT’S NEXT… Lazy susan staging turntable base Magnet-driven roundhouse doors Hand-cranked turntable Locomotive “kits” Two controllers per train Lots of debugging!
- 28. TAKEAWAYS Don’t let your layout languish • Either have a layout or a shelf Proof of concept • Explore new ideas, materials,… • Verify if you have the skils Damn the torpedoes! • Refine on the layout • Make progress
