Good morning all,
I am shortly commencing construction of a 24' x 14' O 3 Rail Scale layout using structural pine. I would be interested in communicating with any other forum members who live in Australia, regarding what structural pine timber sizes they have used. There is a lot of good and useful information in Linn Westcott's Building Model Railroad Benchwork book, however all examples of construction are using dressed / planed pine which is far more expensive here in Australia. than Structural Pine which will do the same job.
Regards,
Alan Ford

G’day Alan,

I’m contemplating a similar sized layout here in Kings Langley NSW and have been looking at the same issues.

Where are you located? Given that there aren’t too many of us 3 railers in Oz, it would be good to compare notes.

Regards
