Time to play trains
VicKlicktor:
Hello all,
Next step was to choose a funny background that allowed me to rotate Playmobil themes. I thought of realistic ones but I finally opted for the childlike style seen at Funparks in Zirndorf and Paris:
This is my do it yourself and family version:
I stopped here while waiting for some tracks and accessories.
My circuit design will be based on the Playmobil examples shown in the awesome 1995 train catalogue. This way I will deploy an analog circuit taking the options PM and LGB offered during 80s and 90s
The circuit is formed in essence with two concentric ovals interconnected to each other but properly isolated to be able to use two transformers. Playmobil suggests running two locomotives and keeping three parked but I'm sure we'll try more in motion to increase fun. :yippee:
:wave:

Things are progressing well and he backgrounds you have created are wonderful.
Look forward to seeing more.

Wow. That is a BEAUTIFUL background! Can't wait to see more :)
Tiermann:
Your room background is amazing, great choice!
VicKlicktor:
Thank you for following the implementation of my indoor layout. I'm still waiting for some parts.
I got the AnyRail free version to design my circuit. It allows me to include only 50 segments (this is why some sections are open in the diagram below), even so I got a very useful sight:
Also, just as a little sample I made this short video of my pilot test:

I used the LGB 20216 Golden Stainz locomotive (50th anniversary of the brand, 1968-2018) that I had to hand.
Sorry for the quality, this is something I have to fix.
Hope to progress some more next time. :wave:
