Thanks Joe, It shows I need to change a little of my benchwork, Better to know now instead of after the plywood in installed!
Hey, Mike. You might want to consider making your platform about 8” higher than normal. I know if I ever build another layout I’m going to. We dropped our TT into a previously built 40” high frame, and even though it’s real obvious it’s there, I’m forever hitting my head on the metal frame.😖
Thanks Jim, I am pretty much stuck at 42" . The rest of the yard is also at 42"s. I will make it work, I just didn't know if my frame work could go directly 4" under it.
Mike also make sure the the TT installation is perfectly level with the table service as each whisker track will also have to be perfectly level. I have 38 tracks coming into mt Millhouse TT and having homasote on the top for noise I had to add screws all the around the TT to insure all tracks remained level. It was ALOT of work but since I have it instantiate I no longer have to handle any locomotive once I put it on the track. I absolutely love the TT and all the work I put into the installation. The folks at Millhouse are fantastic in thier support I had to remove parts of the table and send it back as it would not retain the settings and they fixed no problem. Works great just READ the instructions start to finish before indexing it. That was my mistake not completely reading them thoroughly before indexing. I spent to much time chasing ghosts because of not completely reading before starting. They are not hard or complicated it was just me cutting corners being in a hurry!
Thanks Rick, I got the TT threw @leapinlarry he has included everything, I just haven't opened the box cause I want to get the tabletop finished first. I don't want to lose anything! Lol 😆
