@Mark Boyce Thanks!  I'm officially on week 2 of it and have been able to put our classic car in storage, help my mom out around her house, and started whittling down the house project list.  Its like summer vacation all over again! haha. I was worried about the heft as well.  The sections should be manageable.  Ken's plans are great in showing the dimensions for what the tables are.  Right now, there will be two 4x4'6" sections and two 4x3'6" sections.  I also think I'm going to go with Homasote since I've used it before and its actually in stock at our local HD.  I'm also taking your advice.  Once I get everything sorted and what not, I'm going to use the forum to sale a lot of it first.  Then move on to that auction site or a train show.  I've also given some items to a friend of the family's 7 year old grandson who is more a train nut than even me! haha



@Ken-Oscale Thank you so much!  I knew it was probably a PICNIC (problem in chair, not in computer) situation.  I really appreciate how much time and detail you put into these plans and your book has been an absolute blast to go through and learn from.  I went through the plan with your notes and fixed all of the problems I was hitting.  I do see one or two tolerance issues.  After I went through it, I did find one area down around the cross-over on the right hand side on the inner loop.  I think its another tolerance issue, but when I put it together, I had to use two 1 3/4 sections instead of the three 1 3/8 sections.  Again, may just be a me issue.

Thanks again!
