Radar, yep it seems that we are on the same track (no pun intended) my hope was to include several city blocks in the layout but I dont think it is gonna happen, (or not as much as I envisioned anyway) I was pretty pleased with what we done Saturday, but the trackplan for the freight yard and...

Hello All, well the last part of my benchwork for the Tennessee and Western is in, we finished the 28 in by 9ft section this afternoon, we also applied the first layer of foam to the layout. I also pinned some track to the foam to give me an idea of how the yard and engine service area would...

Thanks, for all the complements guys, if the Lord is willing and the creek don’t rise I hope to get the last section in next weekend. Ralph to answer your question, you are correct that is not the section that will raise up, that section of the layout will be right in front of the door that...

Yep that Breaker Box was and is a thorn in my side, but that is why I left that open area to crawl under and be able to reach it. I had MUCH rather used that open area for another foot of operating space :thumb: . But hey we have to give and take right?

Well I used 1x4 for the benchwork and 2x4 for the legs, the only reason I used the 2x4's is because I had them as surplus ,as I am a GM of an Elect & Plumb and Remodeling Company sometimes we have ruff 2x4's that will not cut it in a home so I get to go through the scrap pile for anything I can...
