As pointed out in a previous post, I needed one more point motor to motorise all my existing points. And that presented a bit of an issue. Because for some odd reason, I had a really hard time finding another PL-11.
When, as a kid, I was mucking around with my TT-scale setup, there were precisely two kinds of points (or turnouts) you could buy: manual, and motorised. The motorised points were strictly surface-mounted, there was nothing else, at least not in that scale and from the available suppliers.
At the moment, we are living with some space constraints. The rooms in our house have fairly small footprints. So there isn't much space to build a sprawling model railway table at this time.
If there's one thing I've learned in a rather short time when it comes to model railways, it's that it is probably not the best idea to buy mixed track.
So, what did we get from the first haul?
When I was in my early teens, I used some saved money to buy myself a model railroad. The scale was TT (1:120), a scale that was popular in East Germany and still is in Eastern Europe, but has niche status pretty much elsewhere.
