Hi everyone

I assembled 3 modules of the layout Heildelberg (Noch). Rails are installed in the hidden station

I am going to defuse them to install(settle) them in good directions.


The last rails of every module are screwed, except the very last at the end of every module to facilitate according to me the work of connection between the modules


To decouple the rails of 2 modules, I have to pull the module slowly towards me delicately or pull it towards me by making a light left movement - right?

This operation puts under stress me a little, seen number of hours when I worked on these modules

Thank you very much for yours answers

I don't understand this answer...no problem ...I am going to manage

You don't state what type of track you are using. With C-Track one would have to disconnect carefully. Although the K-Track procedure we use could be adapted.

With K-Track the process is much simpler. On the ETE modules we use a modified 180mm K-Track section between each module. We remove the metal tabs and plastic connector pieces as well as the stock rail joiners. We then wire the track with a separate wire to be plugged into the power buss. Separate sliding rail joiners are added. This requires some modification to the plastic holding the ties on each end. The track is a simple drop in at that point. The rail joiners are slid onto the adjoining permanent tracks on the modules.

Thank you for the answers

When I posted this question it was very early the morning and I had to leave to the job in the 10 minutes

and sorry I have forgotten to explain what sort of tracks I use : Marcklin C tracks

I shall try to separate modules very slowly with the help of my wife

Thank to all

This is what we've done with our club H0 layout (M and C track) - rails are cut flush with the join, with a pin in the front of the module to line the module up. We also do something similar with our Gauge 1 modules.

With our H0 modular layout, we aim to use a 24188 piece to bridge the join between modules, so the track on the module is set back 94mm from the edge of the module and a 24188 piece is inserted when the modules are joined up. This means that you don't get height mismatches between modules so much as the 24188 piece evens out any bumps.

Hi everyone

As I said, Mike is back from Mexico and the problem is solved


Yes

oups

sorry

Were are cuting the rails ( 24177 ) and it will become easy to couple modules by sliding them on the frame

Here some photos showing a part of the problem which worried me: eliminate the problem of access for an easy work














I think that all will be correct
