Hey guys, I had some technical difficulties earlier attaching the photos.As I had to figure out how to get the pictures to embed first… So I have started the build log with the embedded photos later in this post thread.
Here’s the progress I have made thus far on my new layout. I had some different thoughts and mixed feelings on how I wanted to execute between all wood, elevate, partial elevated etc. I have had numerous different layouts and as much as I love the on the ground layouts and their “prototypical” perspectives, the Arizona sun and occasional wash out just gets the best of the track, every time. I had an old shelf system that I cut down and added the legs to to essentially create a benchwork. Each end has a return loop with a planned yard/turntable coming off of the center of the layout, down the road.
As it sits today, each loop has been leveled and the steel fastened at each end. I have to make a trip to buy some more lumber then I will continue with the decking portion.
