Well I got some time yesterday to work a little more on the layout. I cut the Homasote to size for the roll-out turn-back loop. This town will be relatively flat, so since I have plenty, I just covered the whole thing with Homasote.
I also cut part of the tabletop out for the Cheat River crossings. I left the table uncut where the two bridges will go for now. I'll cut it completely for the truss bridge in the rear. I may leave the wood intact for the girder bridge in the front.
Over on the "What did you do on your layout today?" topic, Mike G. asked, "what's next?" Here is my reply:
I am going to put the track back down temporarily and mark the center-lines, then remove it and lay down O gauge cut and beveled cork for the raised roadbed look. The two yard tracks in town will be tapered down to rest right on the Homasote. Then I can start laying track in that area. By that time, I'll be cleaning up leaves, mowing my yard and my dad's large yard, so work on the layout will be slower, but I'll have enough started I can work on it an hour or so when I get the chance.
