@RubinG posted:GunrunnerJohn, I’m really intrigued by that repurposed chair. I can see the 2 x 4 frame, but what kind of casters did you use ? How tall were your Mianne legs?
Your yard looks great. Is it more than 3 feet wide? It looks very similar to what I’d like to build, but I’m also planning a turntable and roundhouse.
As I look at your train room, it looks to me like you used linoleum. Am I correct?
I used the standard 40" legs from Mianne, so the height of the bottom of the I-beams to the floor is at least 36" at the floor high spot, and closer to 38" at the low spots. All of the layout was leveled to about 1/8" or better after the top of the benchwork was on.
The chair has a couple of 2x3's and the round disks are carpet furniture glides as most of my layout is on carpeted floor. It works great for working under the layout, much easier on the back when you're wiring than anything else I could think of.
The yard is three feet wide, and the yard tracks are all spaced 3.5" apart. I didn't have room for anything wider there without encroaching on the door. I put a small turntable on the main platform but no room for the roundhouse, though I sure would have liked to have one.
