I have finally gotten started on my south end staging. This will make it possible for trains to actually continue through Norwich like the prototype. I have to build a lift out section that will care the a 90 degree curve to be able to connect the staging yard with the rest of the layout. I built the bench work for the yard this past Sunday as it was in the mid 90's out side, so the basement was a cooler alternative. I basically built a shelf out of three quarter inch plywood on brackets. I topped it with Homasote. It is 8 feet by 1 foot long.

Here is the shelf, I will add a basic back drop and and ballast the yard to at least make it look nicer. |
