Thank you!

It is, of course, a Dead Rail/Battery on Board layout.

 

The most recent video, My First HO Layout in a Long, Long Time, Part 12, was posted on March 07, 2024.

Part 12 includes What I Have Learned So Far - A Two Year Review, Numbers 43 - 44

There are only two topics covered in this segment. The first section covers chargers, charging and how to compute the battery’s average amp draw. The second topic covers how I use a trailing battery car and demonstrates how easy it is to do.

 

I have documented the build, thus far, on my Website, “A Journey Into HO Scale Model Railroading in the 21st Century”. The Website was completely updated during February and the first week of March of 2024.

I have created a playlist for this layout build and using Dead Rail. The playlist is a series of 12 videos, on YouTube, at this time.

As a reminder, I’ve also created a playlist for my “Making and Using a Portable Dead Rail Demonstration HO Layout Parts 1 - 10

My Channel, on YouTube, is noted as Electric Flyers Only of southeastern Michigan, that is because it was originally started for my electric motor, battery powered, RC flying videos.

 

Enjoy and let me know what you think,

Ken
