The layout has just taken the lead from the innovative equipment. This looks very nice indeed, and very well made too. Although my woodworking days are long past, I like the idea of using the plywood strips. Good idea and very stable after installation, no warping to worry about with that. That benchwork really looks nice, even the quality of the holes is impressive!!

Reliable train operation starts with a solid track plan. Many plans look great on paper but fall short of acceptable standards when laid out full size.
Oooch Richard, mach uns doch die Freude eines lange Köf-Zuges. Ich dachte an sowas: http://www.bahnbilder.de/bild/deutschlan...e-koef-iii.html VG
4' x 8' model train layouts is the most common size across HO scale and N scale. Majority of model railroads are constructed on a 4' x 8' layout. Also, it's not too difficult to construct benchwork for a 4x8 model train layout.
N scale model railroads are often small layouts based on 4 x 8-foot sheets of plywood, for obvious reasons. A flat tabletop is a lot easier to build than L-girder benchwork, and almost any home has room for a 4 x 8 table at one side of a bedroom or basement. Great things have been [...]Read More...

A large sectional track plan, designed for preexisting benchwork. This uses Kato Unitrak in N Scale. Pravin wanted to model the large container terminals he passes on his way to work, so I based this very loosely on the Elizabeth-Newark area of New Jersey, borrowing a little mountain scenery from the Delaware Water Gap area.

I used the "cookie-cutter" method to build the different elevations on my 4x8 model railroad benchwork table.

Rtr12: Here are a few pics of the shelf installation. In addition, I was able to install a rotary switch in the side of the benchwork to send power to the tracks around my turntable. I didn't want a control panel sticking out, so I came up with this idea. The toggles control power to the track on the table and power to all of the tracks around the table so that when turning the rotary switch, no track will be active until this switch is "on". included also are a few pics of my power...

Building a model railroad can be a daunting undertaking. Often the hardest part is just getting started. You can build a basic platform in a few days however and be running trains before you know it. The photos you'll see here are all part of the construction of a rather large test layout here in…
