Custom built Layout 3 TRAINS at once! G scale train set (LGB, Piko, Bachmann)
I apologize for the delay, but it is due to my current schedule. G Scale 3 train Layout, all 3 trains run at once with custom built circuit board! This layout will make an amazing layout around any Christmas Tree with 3 full running G scale trains! Upgrade and get 2 Christmas trains and a Green and Red LGB Engine and train also! Letting this go at bargain price for fully operational 3 train layout with solid brass track, transfomer, and custom circuitry and controls! Please ask any question you might have, I’m here to put your mind at ease and explain every part of this custom train setup. G Scale – Three locomotives and 8 cars! This layout includes 3 G scale trains, complete brass track layout approximately 11 x 5 feet including 2 switches, and an Auto Control circuit board, track sensors, wiring to run 3 trains at the same time! Please see full descrptions and video links below. Note: the layout in the video is 1 foot shorter because I couldn’t fit it on the tables when I set it up for the video, you’ll receive 3 more pieces of track not depicted in the video or photos, track diagram shows the additional track. This layout contains a custom made Auto Control circuit board that I built specifically for running three trains on a layout. This Auto Control Board is capable of 3 trains running at same time on a single loop of track with a siding. Important Note: In the video below and the photos the layout is 1 foot short, but you will still receive the extra 3 pieces of straight track not pictured in the video and photos of the built layout. First, this is a video of the layout for sale with the 3 trains included, with the track, wiring, and Auto Control Board you will receive. Here are three other videos of example layouts using one of my Auto Control circuit boards. (copy and paste the URL if needed). This last video shows a larger layout I setup at a train show using the Auto Control custom cirucut board on the inner loop on the layout. What exactly is this “Custom Layout” and what do you get? You will receive items shown in the video, see the trains you’ll receive below, plus 3 extra straight pieces of track not in the video, with instructions on how to assemble and operate the layout. A full items/parts listing is in the next section. Three G scale locomotives with 6 train cars total. Full layout of G scale brass track with 4 ft diameter (5 ft are available) curves, straight track, and two brass switches, one with an LGB switch machine. The layout is a long oval with an approximately 4 ft long siding. The layout will run 3 TRAINS at once, automatically. This is much more than a simple starter. Each train will feature one locomotive and at least two cars. The Auto-Control Circuit Board, included, allows full 3 train operation, or 2 different 2 train modes of operation, and single train operation as well. It features slowdown and startup track sections with variable speeds (please see photos of Auto-Controls box). When you use single train operation mode, a 2. Train can wait on siding. Does not need to be moved. Custom circuit, on a board, that I built. This circuit board has 12 connections including power to 5 different “blocks” on the layout. Please ask any questions you might have about this unique train control circuit. A G-Scale DC power pack with enough power to run 3 trains, with 2. Amps of DC current. I will include a seperate 18VAC power pack which will supply power. To the switch, sensors and custom Auto Control circuit board. A custom Auto Control circuit, on a board, that I built. This circuit board has 12 connections including power to 5 different “blocks” on the layout, track sensors, and a switch motor. It has adjustments for slowdown and startup speeds on the siding and main track. It also has several modes of operation where it can run 1-3 trains. This layout is one of 3 that I currently own and setup on a temporary basis for Christmas or other occasions. You can set it up on tables and use tablecloths, add buildings etc. You can expand it and still use the custom circuit board to run 3 trains. Three trains running on a compact G scale layout is a sight to behold, and will entertain kids and train enthusiasts! This Auto Control circuit at model train clubs and members are impressed, and usually have big smiles on their faces. My kids have really enjoyed these layouts over the years. In the spring of 2018 and 2019 I ran a larger version of this Auto Control circuit board at a Train Show, see the video above, and received dozens of wonderful comments about the impressive operation of the layout. A video of that layout is available on Youtube, please ask if interested. OPTIONAL: Normally you can just assemble this layout on the floor or a large table. I’ve used several folding tables in the past, as in the video. However, if you prefer, for an extra cost I will pre-assemble the layout on 4-6 wood train modules approximately 2 x 4 feet in size with model train grass mat installed. More on the options below. NOTE: These are not pre-built and will require extra time to build and deliver, they can be built and delivered after the initial package, unless you’d like the track attached to the wood modules. Please ask if you’re interested. Parts List (Some part quantities are estimated). NOTE: THE ACTUAL LOCOMOTIVES AND ROLLING STOCK YOU’LL RECEIVE ARE IN THE PHOTOS, SEE BELOW FOR DESCRIPTIONS! 3 G-scale locomotives. 1 Buddy L/Keystone Santa Fe 2-6-2 w/sound.

I will include photos where needed. SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS LAYOUT. A single G-scale starter set, with a simple circle of track, can be very expensive. I need to sell this layout and the price is quite a bargain at the the cost of about 3 Large Scale train sets, but this set includes brass track, switches, and my custom built Auto Control circuit board. I’ve been a collector and hobbyist of model trains, mostly G-scale trains, for over 13 years. You will love these large trains and layout! The photos show a basic track plan of the track layout. It is about 11 x 5 feet. ProTech 2.0 Amp transformer featuring Momentum. The items in the video and photos are what you will receive. The track supplied will be solid rail brass track from LGB and 11 Aristo-Craft brass track pieces. The reason I mix the track is the Aristo-Craft track is much easier to setup “blocking” with the easily removed rail joiners, to replacd with plastic rail joiners. The trains are “like new” to “very good” condition. The same applies to the track, power pack, and other components. I have not used this layout very much, very lightly used. I have 2 other G scale layouts that I primarily use. I’m certain you will enjoy your trains and I will be available for problems and questions. ALSO, important to know: These components can be expanded to build ANY size layout you prefer. I currently use my unit to run a 26 x 11 ft layout at a train show, you can adapt this to any size G scale DC powered layout. I can assist you with getting it working, my manual covers using it on larger layouts. If you use larger trains that need more power, simply use a larger capactiy transformer, I’ve used mine with 5-15 AMP DC transfomers! Layouts can be as small as 8 x 4.5 feet or up to hundreds of feet of track! EXPANDED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE ENGINES AND. YOU WILL RECEIVE AND OPTIONAL. UPGRADED TRAINS AND COSTS FOR THE UPGRADES!
