All except the last two sections ove bench work are in. Have the risers and subroadbetd in place for the Pueblo yard, and through the first peninsula. I am considering either 3/4 or 1 inch extruded foam as the sound deadener. One nice thing about the foam sheet is that is so easy to cut to shape.

Ohhhhh, Pueblo CO yard? Nice. There was an article in the 1990's in Model Railroading Magazine of a guy who modeled the Pueblo Colorado Yard. He modeled the D&RGW in the 50's which included steam and Perlman Mallets. It was pretty cool.
Photo's please
BTW, I've done some sub-roadbed on risers benchwork and will be using good old Mid-west cord subroad bed when I begin laying rack beyond the staging yard.
My flat yards will be old fashoined painted Homasote (background).

Nice layout. I am using 7/16 OSB as my subroad bed.. The the extruced foam will be my sound deadener then the Midwest cork roadbed. I model in N scale and have an 878 squarare foot basement. so I will be able to model the entire subdivision.

You do good work Jim.

Looking good Jim, please keep posting updates!

In case anyone modeling the area is interested, my article on a very large transition-era HO multi-deck DRGW layout design from Pueblo Yard over Tennessee Pass and on to Minturn is in Model Railroad Planning 2020. Even in a huge space, compromises were necessary.

I would like to post pictures of my new layout, but I cannot log into Flicker to upload the pictures. Any suggestions??
