Not much happening since the last update........final sign off occurs after the windows are finished and painted, the walls are touched up and a terminal cleaning is done.
No worries though, the additional Mianne Benchwork is on order and the likely arrival is sometime after Labor Day.
I finally settled on a plan and this is it.....the Mianne Benchwork allows for some overhand and I expect it to be about an inch and a half all the way around.
The lift section will be in the middle in the area marked b, c, d, with the open area above it.
Ignore the sidings on the bottom outside the main layout proper for now....they are alternatives to what is already on the plan.....
There is a minimum of 3-4 feet all the way around the layout.
The wall on the right (the east wall) is wired for a flat screen TV which my kids gave me for Father's day....
A big plus.....when the house was built, the whole house vacuum was extended to the attic.....I just had it serviced and there are two accessible ports in the layout room.....
This is the storage room where are the train boxes will be stored.....
Once the touch up paint is finished and the place cleaned, the next step is to empty the storage units into the storage room.......then we'll be ready for the Benchwork!
The track order will probably be for York pick up.
One of these days I'll ask Tom (Gilly@N&W) to help me estimate how many Glen Snyder shelves I will need (also, for York pick up)
I suspect the next big update will be after the trains are moved in.
Have a great summer everyone......
