Great looking space, Jeff.......and, great to meet you at York.
I know your excitement, experiencing a similar event a few weeks ago!

A good looking canvas for sure! Have you decided on a track plan?

Sort of on hold.......all the wood is delivered and in place. I need to purchase wire. I am waiting for the Ross transfer table to arrive and then we can start. We likely will motorize the lift gate in the meaning time.
However, before another project starts, all my helpers (and I) will be engaged in our planned upgrades to the 21x43 moular layout, building some new 4ft modules for expansion, building a new 44"x64" layout for our yearly fund-raising raffle and then updating our plexiglass module barriers with thicker plexiglass.
Then, we can move over to my attic......
Realistically, I will be happy for an August start up......while I wait, I can still work on my accumulated structure kits.
Do you have an updated track plan?

Peter, No solid plans yet. I keep thinking of something different everyday. I am looking at the first of August for a first run.
Here is a short video of the Benchwork. Tonight is hookup the liftgate.
Liftgate is working. Now it is time for the top.
Hi Jeff,
Could you mention what product you used for a stain
