going slow, but am making progress

Talk about building your rail road from the ground up. You take the cake!  I hope you enjoy it for many years to come! Be sure to keep us updated on all your hard work. I am sure it will be very nice.

Steady progress gets you there.  It is looking good, too.  And I envy you - projects like this are a lot of fun!

one thing that slowed me down was the original building needed some work, had to put in a new floor and actually jack up the structure and remove original ply wood and replace with pressure treated 2X6. also put in new base plates, when i built it 30 plus years ago, i really did not know much about treated wood and it lasted but if i was going to put more time and money in building then i had to upgrade, now quite strong and stable, plan on putting some underlayment over tarpaper down over 2X6 and peel and stick tile in both rooms,  the new room will have 1/4" luan walls with 1/4" furring type strips over seams and nail runs, then paint. later on will put up some kind of ceiling, might be able to get reclaimed wood and tongue and groove some for ceiling.  room will have 30 amp service, and air conditioned, heat will have to be kero heaters, but they work pretty good

My first "trainroom" was a specially built separate building next to my new home.  It was 32 by 26 with open ceilings and special lighting.  Unfortunately, all I got done inside was the display shelving before a "life change" occurred. 

I know you must be excited and it looks like you will have a great area for the trains!
