2015 Christmas Layout Progress Report, the Final Stages for Completion-New Photo Added Apr. 29th

FM Former Member

Big day yesterday. Our carpenter arrived at 7:00 AM and did not stop until he finished, about 8:30 PM last evening. We were up at 5:30 AM snow blowing the driveway, decks and walk which this past week has been a steady diet.

 

I have posted a sequence of photos. The first is the room where our new Christmas layout is located. The second is a photo representing the planning stages where we traced the track and other elements onto rosin paper and spread it out on the floor where the benchwork is to go. The third photo is the start of benchwork construction and the last two, the finished benchwork.

 

Now we are ready to start the construction of the New Christmas Layout.

Brian we are excited for you; what a fun project. Will you use North Pole Village or a mix? We planned to do N Pole last year but family stuff and a boat delivery didn't allow the 100+ hours it takes. Now, if it could stay up...

 

Do you use Dept 56 street lights, trees, accessories, etc, for lighting and action or something else?

 

We we look forward to following your progress.

I would of liked to have seen the face on the carpenter.

He ripped strips of 1/2" plywood to 1/4" so that it was bendable and constructed the rounded frame. Pretty clever idea. This carpenter was a work horse and did a great job.
