Dear List,
As Tom stated I wanted to use the available products in O scale to show our wonderful amount of resources available which were not when I started in 2 Rail in 1984-85.
The layout could not be built without benchwork being completed. I contacted the folks at Mianne in August of 2015 to get a price feel of the benchwork.
They asked me to send my layout design and within one day received a detailed description of the benchwork placement and cost.
Since I have attended the York TCA show since I have been 13, I picked up my 6 boxes of benchwork saving the cost of shipping and off to the races!!
I was shocked to find how simple the benchwork went together-I only had to use a philips head screwdriver to tighten the cams that connect the benchwork.
It took this Insurance guy who can't hang a picture only 11 hours to complete this benchwork finish to end!!!!
The total cost was $1,918.00 and trust me it was well worth the money as the results show in the photos.
I would still be twittling my fingers without firms like Mianne. Thank you, Guys!!! John
