New layout finally started

Very nice!  You wouldn't happen to have a layout diagram, would you?  Can't wait to see your progress.

Excellent!  Look forward to following your progress!

Weekend two, have most of the bench work now complete.  Have most of the plywood for the top, will start attaching next weekend.  Doing this my self, I am glad Menards offers 4x4 plywood sheets, much easier to work with.  The local Home Depot does not cut wood any more.  Will need to post a track plan.  

Tony, in the 2nd photo above I see screws in the joints and crossmembers along the front, but don't see them along the left side. I also don't see how your legs are attached. Would you elaborate?

Most of the legs are just temporally there now, held by staples, waiting for the rest of my appliance levelers to come it.  I will post a picture later of the few that I have done.

There are actually two modules bolted together, so you can't see the sides.  Basically each module is 8x4.  Where two meet up, I just bolt them together.  Probably over kill, but it was easier for me working alone.  In the second picture you can see the heads of the carriage bolts.

Sorry, Tony, I didn't look close enough and thought those were holes for running wires, I see now they are carriage bolts. I plan on doing pretty much the same thing, only my modules would be smaller at 30"x54" and the interior rails will have 2-3 holes for running wires.

Attached is a general tack plan.  My guess is that it will evolve once I start laying track.  The yellow is the walk way.  The blue is a half wall, and the black is a full wall.  The red will be some sort of lift up section.  The center island will have a round house and more tracks off the turntable.  Many more accessories, only put a few on for spacing.  Will probably have more yard tracks in the center, still working on that.  Each square is 2x2.  Currently all on one level.  Will use ross track and switches.
