✅ I show you how scale trains work, continuing with our model railroading series. In the previous video we talked about the most basic decisions you need to make to get started with scale trains and now I'll show you what scale trains are like and how they work. There are two types of tracks without taking into account the scale, on the one hand there are embanked tracks with a base that simulates ballast and simple tracks without embankment, these tracks allow us to manually ballast to achieve a more realistic and personalized finish. At the same time, there are rigid tracks that have a certain shape and also flexible tracks that can be deformed to form custom layouts. As for the rails, they have been made of various materials ranging from aluminum and steel to brass, each one conducts energy better or worse and I do not recommend combining rails of different types. It is best to look for Nickel/Silver, which is an alloy of nickel and silver that are excellent for conducting electricity, of great quality and are distinguished by a slight yellow tone. Curves are measured by radius, most brands measure them in inches, although there are brands like Kato that use them in millimeters. To assemble a train, the units must be hooked together and couplers are needed, all our couplers must be of the same type to be able to form the trains. In HO scale we have horn hooks, although the standard are the knuckles, they are very similar to the real ones in their shape and operation, they also simulate the connection of hoses that are used to uncouple with the help of a magnet. In N scale we have quick or square type couplers, but we also have knuckles in N scale and they have the same functions. Couplers of different types are not compatible with each other and you need to change them to the same type. For a scale train to work, you simply need tracks, a control, driving force and towing equipment. Its operation is simple, we simply assemble the circuit, connect the tracks to the control, place our train on the track, connect the control to the current, turn on the control and give power to the train so that it begins to circulate. The locomotive takes that current through its wheels and takes it to the engine to make it work, through the arrows and the gear the engine moves the wheels and propels the train. In this video we will only talk about the analog system because it is the simplest and cheapest way for beginners to learn about scale trains. In the production of this video, N scale trains (1/160) were used, except when talking about HO scale (1/87).
