1st level of framed benchwork complete

t8afaot8afaoOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER
With the old layout down and now the starting of the new one. I thought I would show the basic framework.  This will be 2 levels when done plus a 3rd small mountain level with On30. It's all 1 by 4s. We did use the framework from the old layout that you can see on the round end and center section.  The narrow 2ft open area will be removable bridges to gain access in the walk ways, that is 2ft wide also. All other walk ways are 3ft or plus. The table is 38 inches tall and greater for the benchwork. The room is 29ft long and 11.6 wide. The entrance to the room looks like a old freight station with sliding doors. Thanks for looking, hope to have updates soon.Nick 20150202_12461520150202_12494220150304_15240120150304_15244920150304_15253720150304_15263420150304_15261320150304_15270820150304_152732

Thanks for the comments, I do have some great help from son. He has also helped on the last layout to.  He will be great when we run wire. Here are a couple of pics of the entrance to the new room. The doors came from a red taged building ready for demo. The siding was made to look old with help from my wife. Nick 20150304_17252520150304_172559

Thanks for the comments,  we have made a little progress.  I had drawn up about a dozen or so plans but never settled for one. We did come up with what the main lines are but still working on the sidings. The lower line is all O72 curves or greater and the upper is all O54 for passenger cars. Here are a few photos of what we have done. The decking is 7/16 osb with 1/2 inch sound board glued to the top. Nick.20150423_16390920150423_16374720150423_16383620150423_163728
