Switching Layout Update:
Landmark Event, my 13yr old son Devin HELPED ME finish stripping the last of what i had to do...on his own accord even!
:thumb:. i was quite shocked, but don't get your hopes up, he doesn't care for trains, but i thought it was REAL NICE he helped out:thumb:
.
i still need to sand the top down before i lay track(dad, if you read this before i stop over...i need to barrow your palm sander
ops:...THANKS!tooth1). i went to the LHS in Janesville after i got out of work, and picked up the track needed to do the job:thumb:. here is a shot of how the layout looks now.
View attachment 36378 the plan i am using was drawn up by a GOOD friend, Kurt(cnw1961)
.
Kurt, i have "test" laid the track out, it comes out about 95% as you drew it up:thumb:, though i might set the buildings up just a little different, i hope you don't mind
ops:. heres a pic of the plan Kurt made that i am using:thumb:.
