I love the attention to detail. We need more instructional videos and more frequent. Great job!
Please don’t stop making these videos!! You’re inspiring me to build a track with this system
That would be great to see Ktsusna! I'll try to help you all I can. Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
What a treat to see this track being updated as if we ever thought it needed anything at all ever, because it’s one of the most beautiful tracks out there. Period.
Thanks a million GFR! Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
Thank you a great tutorial on running the copper tape
Great detail shown on this track, I can only imagine the man hours.
Yes Gene a 35yr labor of love.Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
Thanks for all the inspiration.
We are designing and building a lap counting system that has a sensing strip that registers a car moving across it yet still powers a car on it so slow moving cars don't stall on it. We are breaking new ground. Thankd for asking.
Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
You have overcome the problem of what is known as stalling in a neutral section in overhead line powered railways. 😅
Thank YOU !
No problem Fern. Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
@@jimmyattard1446 YES i will =) )
another great one. not sure how I missed it, I just watched it.
re the piercing of the tape, alarm companies used to do that with the lead tape when they taped glass windows . they had a small roller with spikes on it & rolled it over a break in the tape when they put on a new pc ( to get continuity)
That's interesting to know John. Thanks for your nice comment my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos with your friends.
Happy New Year.
Thanks for the information.
What lap counter are you using?
Love your videos and passion for this hobby. Well done. In Australia this tape doesn’t seem to be available, but similar self adhesive copper tape used for circuit boards is available. Can you tell me the thickness of your tape as ours here snaps easy
Hi Frank ... thanks for your comment. You can see in the video that the 3M copper tape I use is 1.5 m thick. You can look it up on the internet and find it for sale many places. Thanks for watching my friend. Please forward our videos to all your hobby friends!
I’m really enjoying your how to videos. Started designing my track and going to do an AC2 system, do you think 3/4 inch thick MDF will be too stiff to do proper banking on the curves?
