Train sets!

First topic message reminder :

that is a matter of discretion, but so far it's been my old house, my current job, and my trains

There are space restrictions to account for when building or expanding a model railroad.

Of course, everything does. Maybe those proposed shortcuts would help with that...

the shortcuts are for ease of access, not to help the setup work better

Still a good option. So how can you make the set up work better?

The shortcuts mentioned by mtvfan are meant to speed up construction of the set-up's final expansion only. As for this setup working better, having a perfectly and permanently flat ground as well as a dry and mold-free area would go a long way to improve operations but such aren't possible.

Yeah I suppose that would always help. There isn't a way to get rid of the mold? Like calling a specialist or something?

only way to get rid of the mold is to seal the walls from the damp

Aren't there experts that specialize in mold removal?

the best way is painting the walls to seal out the damp

yes but its not cost effective to keep calling mold removal specialists in.

I hear you, very understandable, but if that is the only way to fully make the setup work better then it might be something to consider.

the best way is to plaint the walls, it keeps the mold down, and also helps to seal out the damp.

Yes, but that still will not get rid of the current mold.

no, but such will help to significantly reduce it

Well Mold is very unhealthy to be around.

it is avoided completely as a rule, but very few molds are dangerous to people. although some can be very nasty

Almost all are bad for people in some way. That's they have a disgusting name like MOLD.

going of topic again i think, but most molds are not dangerous to people that are exposed to it. but like i said, mold is not the topic of this thread

Yes sir Sheriff... sorry... please don't site me.

So how is progress coming on the train set.

no work was done yesterday, but it is progressing

Cool. Is everything coming along as expected?

yes, everything is going well, have some new pics for the thread but they will not be posted until tomorrow, also planned is moving container yard 1 from its current location to the new proposed yard on phase 3
