Otts Update,

Last night members were able to see that lines were placed on the floor and bench outlines were being marked.





We also discussed building a 12 foot by 8 foot 031 tin plate layout. This will represent a typical basement type layout that many people could build. We are planning a work day on this next Sunday, February 19, 2006 at 1:30pm. This will be laying track and wiring.

Collin, the track plan that I posted is the tin plate, 12 by 8 foot. The large layout is 24 by 57 foot. You can see it on there web site.
