progress report to rebuilding layout

SORRY about the doubles,i am trying to figure out what i did wrong someday i will get this right.

I love the idea of a full kitchen with the train layout

Then you don't have to go upstairs and bother the MRS

"You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"

That's a big project.

Jerry,

Looking good so far !!!!!!!!

Nice thought on the electricity circuits. The trains will happy. You're getting close to train time. Will you make any lighting changes for the layout while the room is under construction?

FloridaCoastJo, We have always had a kitchen there,with the wiring being outdated,& the old sink rusted out it was time to update everything it is much safer now that the wiring is done correctly.      

       Alex,the cabinets were delivered yesterday,they will be installed shortly,then we will order the counter top,put everything back where it belongs & then ON TO THE TRAINS!!!!

Moonman ,if i do anything with the lighting i was thinking about putting LED rope lights around the layout,also want to do some kind of backdrop,maybe using 1/4'' luan plywood & painting it sky blue with some clouds painted in,or possibly buying a backdrop but could be expensive for the area i want to do,i have a lot to think about,then again that is the fun part of this hobby, planning  then bringing those plans to reality.

what will be the final dimensions of available space.  I have 11'6"X15'6" clean floor space and still deciding on "around the room" or center table with 'island access in middle"

good luck,  we might be building at same time, i just ordered some track to lay on floor and have some thing physical to touch and move around and think about.  at same time milling and putting aside construction materials

cool and regards

Lots of work! Wow!

Looking forward to seeing pics of your progress.

20' long, wow!!

can you post a drawing of what you think it will be?

you probably like me,  How many times in a day can i change my mind!!

Pelago,the dimensions are 15' long x 6 1/2' wide,the long sides will be 30'' wide & the short ends are 31'' wide with a 20'' aisle in the middle,i have to build either a lift out section,or a swing up hatch to get in there ,there will also be a second level about 19''wide. This photo shows what it looked like at one point before being taken down.

cool with  cap K
