These pages use live views from cameras at the south and north ends of the layout. For each session, the cameras in turn will prompt you for a userid and password: you may use userid passenger with a blank password.
A work in progress...This is an experimental page and a layout that is in development. The layout will be off most of the time, and will be removed for work as often as not. Also the lights in the room will not always be on, so at night you won't see much. The layout itself is a fairly simple back and forth setup , based on one I found at http://www.lattermann.com/_cdb/mj/trackplans/Z_small/small-layouts.htm. It has a couple of short sidings at each end and I added a longer freight siding. A timer circuit (from Zthek) controls the movement on the main line, which has a split in the middde, and I usually set those switches for alternate paths left to right and right to left. The short sidings are isolated so I can park engines and short trains on them, and the freight siding has its own power source. With a little work, three short trains can be switched around the layout.
I'm addicted to steam
models, and Marklin steam doesn't handle switches very well, especially
double-cross switches. Moreover, since I consider this layout a trial,
it's laid on homasote with IBL cork beneath but no ballast. If you know
what homasote is, you'll cringe at the thought of warps and
unstability. Anyway, it's a rough track and occasionally the cam will
catch my old 0-5-0 switcher reaching into the scene to nudge something
along. That's life on the
R&WD Div. of the FAB&PP.
If you do not see an image then you may have a firewall blocking execution of the java applet, or maybe the camera's down. In any case, these cameras are quirky, especially the one providing the view from the south (on the left above.) This document maintained by
