Back again with more questions. I recently had a rude awakening that product I purchased may only function under command control. So after reading a bit, I'm curious how Legacy and TMCC are wired. Is it just the 1 ground wire from the base to one outside rail or are there more things involved? I thought I read somewhere Legacy and TMCC require a special wall outlet or something.
I also was curious what you all used for your benchwork and, if you're comfortable sharing, roughly how much the raw materials costed. I know the best benchwork allows for a person to stand on it without issues. As this is 8x14, I figure I will need a bit beefier materials, but I know little about benchwork. I'm about 150 lbs, so I want to be able to walk across the benchwork without fear of breaking anything. Overkill is fine so long as it doesn't break the bank too much, though this project will pretty much kill my wallet already, lol. Anyways, recommendations are much appreciated.
For those of you who helped kick-start this project, thank you. I know you want to see progress but a lot needs to get done first. I have measured and re-measured 3 times and the space is available. However, I'm now finding out the garage has a serious spider problem and some may be venomous, so the garage needs to be bombed a few times and the aftermath cleaned up before anything else happens. Definitely don't want any abnormally large arachnids on my layout terrorizing passengers. After that, a workbench and a couple cabinets need to be moved to the other side of the garage. Once that all gets done I just need to come up with the cash. This will be a slow but rewarding process. I will post updates on my YouTube channel as the project progresses. I really do appreciate all the help and I hope to break ground soon.
