CONSTRUCTION

Benchwork
2" x 4" construction was used and pretty much left untouched from the first layout.

Roundhouse
This Walther's roundhouse was left over from a friends layout but was too big to use on mine.

Developing
I used 3/4" plywood for the deck. You can see here as I started to develop the city.

Yard ladder
Starting to layout the yard tracks.

Yard area
Here you can see the mainlines are in. The depot and ice house were originally fitted here but later moved. I used foam core sheets instead of using the traditional cork. It provides the necessary sound proofing.

Roundhouse area
I used Walthers 130ft turntable
