🛠️ PC001 PCB Ties: Your Secret Sauce for Premium Turnouts! 🛠️

Ever think PCB ties were just something to slap under a basic turnout? Well, think again! Our PC001 ties take turnout-building from ordinary to absolutely spectacular!

Most folks settle for about ten PCB ties to get their turnouts done—easy, right? But here at ANE MODEL, we don't do "just okay." Our Freemo HO modules go ALL OUT, packing in PCB ties from tip to tail. Why? Because we don't just build turnouts—we craft miniature masterpieces!✨

---

🔍 Why Do Our Turnouts Look So Darn Good?

Because we went the extra mile (and then some!), meticulously lining up every single rail from the frog to the point rails with our precision-cut PC001 PCB ties. Every tie gets carefully measured, trimmed, soldered, filed, and colored. The result? A turnout that's not just a track component—it's a model railroading work of art! 🚂✨

🔧 What’s So Special About PC001?

The PC001 is our premium PCB tie set, carefully engineered for serious model railroaders:

* Features multiple lengths and widths to tackle any turnout geometry.
* Precision copper etching with easy-to-solder center pads and isolation points.
* Matches HO-scale tie spacing and dimensions right out of the package.
* Fully compatible with FastTracks jigs, NMRA standards, or your custom creations.

🎉 Your Layout Deserves Premium Turnouts!

People often ask, "How do you get your turnouts looking THAT good?" Our secret: PC001 PCB ties plus a dash of craftsmanship and love for the hobby!

A great module doesn’t just perform smoothly; it grabs attention with amazing details. And believe us, your turnouts can (and should) be the star of the show!

🔧 [DIY Trackbed Upgrade: How We Built Our EVA Roadbed]
At ANE MODEL, we’ve spent years exploring the best materials for realistic, reliable model railway scenery.

We started with the basics—tracks glued directly to the board.
Then came foam sheets, 3mm cork, and eventually 6mm oil-treated cork roadbeds.
Each material offered something different, but the high cost and limited flexibility held us back.

Recently, we discovered a game-changing solution: EVA foam.
It’s lightweight, affordable, easy to shape, and offers excellent sound absorption.
Best of all, it’s ideal for DIY layouts.

By using 6mm EVA sheets and crafting our own 45-degree cutting tool,
we created a custom beveled roadbed that delivers professional results without the premium price.

This video walks you through our journey from concept to creation.
If you’re a layout builder or just love model trains, this solution might just be what your layout needs.

The most distinctive feature of LD101 is its dual-mode operation of DC and DCC. To help users clearly understand the detailed operation of LD101, special operation instructions for different modes have been shot. Now, let's first enjoy the explanation of the operation functions of the DC mode. It is hoped that this video can solve users' doubts. We will share the DCC operate later.

KATO’s old solenoids:
⚡ Clunky, noisy, and fake.

🔋 Silent slow-motion magic – real-world rail switching replicated down to the second.
💡 Precision engineering meets jaw-dropping realism.

🚂 【Layout Building Tips｜EVA Foam Roadbed Success!】
Hey fellow model railroaders! Today, we’re sharing our journey of finding the perfect roadbed material for flexible tracks—from trial-and-error to the ultimate solution!

📌 Our "Roadbed Material Evolution"
1️⃣ First Attempt: Wooden Base
Directly laying tracks on wood was stable but lacked cushioning and realism (totally unnatural slopes 😬).

2️⃣ Upgrade: 3mm Foam Board & Cork
Switched to lightweight foam and cork, but single layers were too thin, and double layers made slope angles hard to smooth out (skill issues, ha!).

3️⃣ Imported Hopes: PECO Foam
Tried PECO’s foam underlay, but it sagged under track weight (RIP wallet 💸).

🌟 Final Answer: EVA Foam!
Inspired by Walthers, we tested 6mm-thick, 50mm-wide EVA foam with a 45-degree cutter—PERFECTION!

Why It Rocks:
✅ Flexible Yet Durable: Absorbs vibrations while holding tracks firmly.
✅ Easy to Shape: Smooth slopes carved effortlessly (even for beginners!).
✅ Weather-Resistant: No warping or moisture damage6.
✅ Budget-Friendly: Cheaper than imports, customizable cuts.

📸 Check Out the Results
👉 Flawless slopes and track alignment!

💡 Pro Tips

Thickness Matters: 6mm for HO, 3-4mm for N scale.

Adhesive Hack: Use low-tack double-sided tape for adjustments.

Detail Boost: Sprinkle ballast or static grass for realism!
