Retrofitting my theme into this bench work is definitely a challenge. The recent expansion was in my plan but how I would do it was not. I am not a carpenter but the design and construction is solid and level. The good news is in a month the trains will be running. Thanks again for watching my videos!
Man you are going in! I have really appreciated you keeping us up to date on your progress. It's good to hear that you are back on schedule for your open house. I know the preparation can be stressful but it's motivating as well. I'll watch out for your next update but in the meantime enjoy your time off.
I essentially have two layouts that connect via a lift bridge. The layout in the video is 26’x 13’ and was converted to a double decker when I added the Maybrook and Bay Ridge yard and car float. The Manufacturers Railroad (switching layout) is 14’ x 6’ so the railroad is 40’ long. I plan to do a full layout tour video once I complete the construction. Thanks for watching my videos!
Tons accomplished Ron! Excellent
Thanks Doug! Appreciate your comment and thanks for watching my video!
Great update. Looking good and thanks for sharing. Dave
Nice update, Ron. Looking forward to watching your future progress... - Paul

Watching you do this makes my head hurt…it’s like putting together a 20,000 piece puzzle…a great challenge with awesome results

Thanks so much! I am happy with the progress so far and looking forward to seeing trains running very soon.
Great update Ron. I can see why you need the break. You've been very busy.
Yes. I have been very busy. Can’t wait to see trains running on the layout. Thanks for your comment and for watching my videos!
What are the dimensions of the layout?
