Reply to "16.5 x 7 Layout"

mattrainOGR Forum Member

Updating the thread here with latest build update - I completed the benchwork this past weekend using 2x4 pine and birch 1/2" plywood. The layout dimensions are 215" x 84" which will accommodate the track plan outlined above. Here are some of my latest pictures:

My next items in the build are as follows:

Procure 440 Soundboard homasote
Glue down 4'x8' homasote using elmer's glue
Install track lighting in ceiling to better illuminate the layout
Purchase track, track, and more track - I've already got some of the sections I need in Lionel Fastrack, so the plan is to stick with it. I'm hoping that by using shallow screws into the homasote, it'll quiet it down a fair bit.

I'm hoping to have the three base-level loops operational and sidings setup in-time for Christmas
