East yard benchwork, part 2.

Here's the other half (the portion shown framed up without subroadbed) of the east yard. I have clamped a strip of hardboard to the front edge to visualize where the curved fascia will be.



Also as you can see, I have subroadbed on the first half and have put down cork where needed (I'm not putting cork under yard tracks).

Next up... subroadbed for this segment, cork and track, then tie it back around to the rest of the layout. Then look for a bigger basement.

Movin' on around the bend

I started framing up the east yard (referred to as the "old yard") at Quinnimont. This segment is a bit under 8 feet long, and represents about half the yard.



As you see, I have a breaker panel on the wall to contend with. Out of the pic to the right, there's also a door. I decided to put a bend in the layout and provide enough room to get in behind to the breaker as well as to open the door without having to move segments of the layout.

Next, I need to build the other end of this yard (connects to the near end in the above pic) then tie it into the rest of the room. Then I'll be about out of space and need to move to a bigger basement... or add a second level.
