we're gonna talk about five more  mistakes that new modelers make whenever
  they're starting out their model  railroad so let's get started with this
  right now I'm Tom Kvichak and this  is Toms Trains and Things this channel
  was created to help other modelers who  are need of guidance in pursuing their
  dream of building a model railroad and  when you're starting out building your
  model railroad you want to avoid the all  the mistakes that all us other modelers
  have made throughout the years now just  a few weeks ago I gave you ten common
  mistakes that model railroaders make and  today I'm going to give you five more
  that most modelers make and the reason  I'm going to tell you this is so you
  don't have to go through all the agony  of redoing your model railroad because
  of these mistakes now that's why I do  these videos in the first place to help
  you out with your model railroad and if  you would like to see more of these go
  ahead and hit that subscribe button and  ding that Bell so you could be notified
  whenever I have some more videos coming  out so let's get started with this right
  now with five more common mistakes that  model railroaders make when they're
  starting out in my last video I told you  that you're gonna need patience
  knowledge commitment and time and I had  some comments about money too but
  money's not the real big objects in it  the the the most common things that
  you're gonna need is the patience  knowledge commitment and time in your
  model railroad so I'm going to start out  with number one here and number one is
  wiring I've done a lot of videos on  wiring and you should take a look at it
  I'll put a link up here for the wiring  projects on my railroad and you could
  find  now what you need to know about wiring
  but that's where a lot of modelers make  their biggest mistake on not knowing how
  to wire their model railroad whether it  be DC or DCC now DCC has a lot of
  improvements and advantages over DC but  there are still some of you that are
  doing DC and I have a video we did a  collaboration with Mark from M&M Rails
  on that one go take a look at that video  there how to wire your DC model railroad
  with Atlas components it's a very good  video and Mark does a great job of
  introducing you into wiring your DC  layout but anyway even with DCC you have
  to know what you're doing with the  wiring on there and if you take a look
  at some of my other videos on DCC wiring  you'll avoid these mistakes this first
  mistake at least on wiring your model  railroad you have to pay attention to it
  and you have to know what you're doing  with it before you get started so you
  don't make that costly mistake of miss  wiring your railroad where you turn it
  on and nothing happens or you turn it on  and beep beep you get a short right away
  if you have any questions about wiring  whether it be DC or DCC leave a
  comment down below or go on to my web  page and leave a question there in the
  comment section I'll be glad to answer  any questions that you have on wiring or
  anything else about model railroading  now number 2 lack of maintenance just
  like an automobile you got to do some  maintenance on it now on the newer
  automobiles  it's less maintenance all you have to do
  is change the oil but on your model  railroad you still have to do a lot of
  maintenance on there and the biggest  thing is cleaning your track nickel
  silver is the most common rail today and  it needs to be cleaned because it picks
  up a lot of garbage it picks up oils it  picks up dirt it picks up dust it picks
  up every little thing on there  especially if you're running your trains
  on air because you have the the  electromagnetic force between the wheels
  and the rails and that makes it even  easier for dust particles to go on those
  rails so you have to keep those rails  clean and you could use bright bores you
  could use woodland Scenic's stick clean  and stick for that you could use
  anything you could use a track cleaning  car any method you use but you got to
  use it you got to keep it clean and the  other thing is the locomotives they need
  to be lubricated and not over lubricated  either
  now each locomotive that you purchase  they'll have a little section on there
  about lubrication read it and heat it  because you're gonna need it
  hey that was pretty good read it and  heat it because you're gonna need it
  yeah ok I'm a poet and I didn't even  know it
  so anyway lubricate those locomotives  but don't over lubricate them because if
  you're over lubricated it's gonna get  down on the tracks on your wheels and
  everything and you're gonna have more  problems and not only with the the
  locomotives with the rolling stock also  especially if you have the plastic
  wheels on there it's gonna get crud on  the wheels and you're gonna have to keep
  on scraping that stuff off of there so  you won't have your rolling stock going
  down  they're looking like this so maintenance
  lack of maintenance you got to keep up  the maintenance on your model railroad
  number three buying the wrong equipment  I know you're in a hurry to go out there
  and buy every component that you  possibly think that you need but be
  careful because some brands especially  in DCC some brands will not work with
  other brands even though they all work  on the same standards put out by NMRA
  if you buy and I had a question from one  of my viewers they wanted to know how to
  program  DS64 with their NCE throttle and I
  said you can't do it you got to do it  with a Digitrax throttle so there
  are components that will be  interchangeable with manufacturers but
  there are other components that will not  so you have to be careful with what you
  purchased don't just go out there and  purchase something because you say oh I
  think I need that you're gonna be  running into problems if you do that
  make sure you understand what you're  buying before you buy it as far as the
  electronics go because not all  components will work with other
  components if they're from different  manufacturers now I can't tell you all
  of them that all the mismatches or  anything like that what they are there
  are mismatches out there so if you're  going to work on say Digitrax try to
  keep everything Digitrax so if you're  gonna do NCE try to keep everything NCE
  try to keep everything as far as DCC in  the same brand and if you have to go out
  into different brands ask questions  before you do it ask if anybody has
  and if they had any problems doing it  you don't want to run into the problem
  of incompatibility between manufacturers  because that's gonna get you in trouble
  and you're gonna spend a lot of money  for nothing 4 lack of organization
  know where everything is and what you  are going to do with it
  I have totes and little boxes of stuff  and I got them all marked and even
  though I have them all marked I still  have trouble finding them because I
  don't mark them enough I don't put down  every part so if you have to just take
  some painters tape and masking tape on  the boxes that you have and write
  everything down what you have in there  the contents or even if take a tablet
  and mark down everything on that that  you have in a tote and tape that to the
  side of the tote so you could find it so  you know that you've got all your parts
  in there for Rock molds and plaster of  Paris and oh dude do I have the cloth in
  there oh man where did I put that  write it down make a list put it on
  there you don't want to be unorganized  when you're doing your projects you want
  to keep everything together and try to  to think about what you're going to use
  for a specific task and put all those  pieces together all those tools together
  now sometimes you're going to run into  situations where you're going to use
  some tools for one project and you're  gonna also use it on another project on
  those things you need to keep those  things out separate in a separate spot
  where your most common tools and  supplies that you can be used on
  multiple projects like files like pliers  like screwdrivers like
  cause anything like that you're going to  be using that on different projects no
  matter what it is keep them separated  and organized together so you can find
  them easily because you don't want us to  be spending most of your time trying to
  look for stuff for hours on end just to  get something done on your model
  railroad so remember that be organized  that's most important you got to keep
  everything organized and labeled so you  know where you have it nah number 5
  indecision I don't know how many times  modelers and even myself that I have
  done something and I ripped it out  because I was undecided about what I was
  going to do with it I couldn't make up  my mind what I was gonna do and I've
  seen a lot of other modelers do the same  thing that they'll spend hours weeks
  months on doing track work and scenery  and then all of a sudden just pull it
  out and start over again because they  were undecided about what they wanted to
  do whenever you do something on your  model railroad stick to it
  even though if it doesn't look good  stick to it anyway because that
  indecision is going to cost you money  it's gonna cost you time it's gonna cost
  you effort it's gonna cost you  everything that you have done all that
  good work that you have done even if you  do have that indecision stick with it
  modify it make it work so it works for  you so you don't have to go back and do
  it all over again from scratch and then  once you get it done and start it over
  again you're gonna say oh my god why  didn't I keep that there that
  was good anyway so indecision is a big  thing that you have to avoid because
  even though you think you're doing  something wrong
  it may not be wrong it's gonna be okay  you could use it somewhere on your
  layout it's gonna be placed somewhere on  there you could use it for parts or
  anything but just because you have  something and you're undecided about
  what you want to do with it or you don't  know where to go with it keep it keep it
  going  get rid of that indecision about what
  you want to do so there you go that's  5 more mistakes that you can avoid
  just by listening to what I have to say  that's all you got to do I had 10 before
  and here's 5 more just pay attention  listen try to avoid all those mistakes
  and you're gonna have a good time with  your model railroad with your hobby so
