Thanks, I wanted a look reminiscent of those old Dept. store layouts with their multi-train setups. The plywood was scrap so I layed out the cork and track (12" radius, even my Athearn GP9 makes it around :thumb: ), then secured it with glue and tacks. I then cut it out with a saber saw, using the cork edge as a guide. Finally, I used pieces of old closet rod cut to uniform height and hot glued top and bottom. I am trying to figure out some kind of lighting for under the el myself, no doubt using those low volt LED strings from Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby. Maybe your construction crew could be posed working on the el ( a great reason to cop some of those cool 1/50 scale cranes coming out

)
