Bob Delbridge posted:Got a couple of questions.
How do you level the pieces? Can they be adjusted after the entire layout is built?
What is the height?
Can they build 36" wide sections?
I'm really considering using Mianne bench work on my next layout:
It's approx 12' wide and 30' long, 2-rail code 148. Most of what I've drawn is 36" wide with one place 24" (could changed to 30"). Some 36" places could be narrowed down to 30" (which I would prefer, but can't get all the track in I want).
I can move this to a new topic, these questions came to me while I was reading all these posts.
Mianne provides adjustable legs for all the benchwork, they have tee nuts with I believe somewhere around 2" bolts for adjusting. So yes you can level it all after it's built, while building or whatever you prefer.
I think their standard leg height is 40", but you can get any leg height you want. They even have a two tier leg that allows a shelf (or whatever you want) above.
It doesn't really come in sections so to speak, but you can get any size you want in 6" increments. It's designed by them to your size requirements and there are legs and cross pieces that connect together to form the benchwork. All hardware is included and it is very easy to assemble and goes together quite quickly.
From your plan above it looks like they could easily make you something to fit your space. Only thing I am not sure about is the angled part in the upper left quadrant. They can do angles, but I don't know how they do them?
Your post is fine here, all part of layout discussions and the more track plans the better! I am very happy with my Mianne stuff and I have already added some lower shelves and a transformer cart. They customized my initial order by adding holes in the legs for the lower shelves, so I just ordered the cross pieces and added them in a bit later.
I would recommend looking at their website, some good info there and then you can call Tim if you have more questions about their stuff and what they can do. I talked to him a couple of times before ordering, he is the one that suggested the extra holes for my lower shelves. He also suggested 1/2" sandply from Home Depot for the top, which I used and it worked out very well and is also quite sturdy.
