Well I have about 75 percent finished this remodel of the 5x8 layout that I have had in my garage for the last 4 years. I finally got the small bed room of our home as my train room..YEAH!! So decided to build a multi level winter layout. I took pictures as I have done this so to maybe help anyone else in the hobby. I am by no means a "Trainworks" guy. The board in 8 x 5.5 in width. I cut the height down from 43 inches to 32. It still has the rollers in it so I can move it about as needed. I have tryed to up load as many of the pictures as I can. The top track is 031 turns Lionel Fastrack. With Super streets around the town. The lower, which I will now start the build on it is 036 turns except where you see the transformers. That is two 072 turns, and that I did so to make room for the power units. MTH powers the lower and a 80watt Lionel for the top. All track is hard wired together to I never have to go fishing for a bad connection. The top level is on my old 4x4 Christmas boards and it is half inch plywood with the same foam board glued to it. The lower is green carpet I got from Lowes that is stapled to it. The top mountain is just setting on the bottom piece so I could remove it with out tearing it all apart and the lower mountain is also just sitting there. Well if any have a question ask away......
