Electronic Model Railroad Scenery: Make Your Railroad Complete

Anybody that has a model railroad will know just how exciting it can be to actually maintain it and use it. However, without one thing, the railroad would not be half as much fun! The scenery that is placed around the train tracks is often quite simply breathtaking, especially if it is highly detailed and very lifelike. Of course then you have your electronic model railroad scenery, which just takes it to the next level.

Electronic model railroad scenery is extremely popular with the railroad modelling fanatics. Of course, the trains and the tracks are both electronic but the electronic model railroad scenery simply blows the trains out of the water! There are model figures, tunnels and buildings for individuals to use at their own discretion to enhance the trains and tracks immensely as well as give you the feeling that you really are there with them! Obviously, all of the electronic model railroad scenery is scaled down to size, although they are made to represent all full sized features accurately. This is a practice well honed by architects, movie directors and other similar individuals that want to create an accurate representation of what their eventual structures would look like.

Model railroading became popular in the 1960s, but back then it was literally just the trains and tracks. Electronic model railroad scenery was not as popular then and would rarely be found on an enthusiast's track! However, as it was gradually introduced later, it caught the imagination of children and adults alike because it made the tracks look more realistic and sent their imaginations running wild! It is till extremely popular now, all these years on, as a result of the electronic model railroad scenery. As a result of technological innovations, it just keeps getting better and better.

Electronic model railroad scenery can be bought for all shapes and sizes of track, from the minute to the quite realistic and an eight life sizes ones that you find in major toy stores. The latter is the biggest you can possibly get and is commonly called the G scale amongst enthusiasts. No matter what size your particular model railroad, I guarantee that there is electronic model railroad scenery out there for you! It can work out expensive though if you buy it all at once and fail to effectively shop around first!. For more info see http://www.modelrailroadshelp.com on Model Rail Road.

Electronic model railroad scenery has captured the hearts and minds of many individuals over the years and will continue to do so well into the future. The models are simply gorgeous, whatever scale you have them on. You can let your imagination run riot and really experience the railroad, which is what it is all about!

For model train power supply's, there is a set maximum safe voltage but what about amperage?

What if I connected a car battery to my G Scale train; It's only 12 volts and they can go to around 20 at least I believe; but what about the 800 amps?

The motor will only take the amps it needs, so theoretically your plan will work. You'll need a controller of some sort to regulate the speed, so look for one with 12 volts DC input and 0-12 volts output.

Now the fun starts when something derails and shorts across the track, then you get to full amps from the battery. IF the controller has a good cutout on the input side it and the train should be protected, if the cutout is on the output then maybe there's enough wattage going through the controller to cook it.

As rule of thumb, voltage decides how far a spark will jump, amps how 'fat' it is. IF you get the full amps for even a moment during a short, it is quite capable of welding the wheels to the track. A friend still has a scar on his wrist where his metal watch strap spot welded itself to the positive terminal on the car and the adjacent body work. Fortunately he could reach a screwdriver to pries it free but the watch strap heated enough to give a severe burn. (Watch still works!)

Are you sure the battery is 800 amps, you'd start a real train on that, 80 amp hours is more likely for a small pickup.

Before there was mains electricity in some places some folk did use batteries, usually a set of six lead acid accumulators to give 12 volts, now your car battery just happens to be 6 lead acid batteries in series. However if you've ever seem a short in a car wiring system you'll know the wires can easily melt.

So yes it will work, but be careful.
