I'm excited about a small benchwork project I plan to begin shortly for a layout expansion.
I have not built any benchwork since the mid 1990s when I built my current layout.
Fortunately, I saved a booklet I bought about 25 years ago from my LHS: How to Build Model Railroad Benchwork by Linn Wescott. I thumbed through it this morning, which refreshed my memory on this subject. I highly recommend it. Arnold
