Pics of Benchwork Posted
Posted by HAZMAT9 on Thursday, March 24, 2005 10:13 AM
I finally got the cookie-cutting done this past weekend and have posted pics up on my webpage. If you're interested, the address is:

http://www.geocities.com/hazmat9us/mypagecarnival.html

Once in the page click on "benchwork" and it should take you there. If you have any comments/suggestions, I'd appreciate them. Go easy on me, it's been close to 20 years since I've done any benchwork.

I've listed the trackplans as well. I do have a dilemna. I wanted to add commuter service to the plan but I feared that it wouldn't look good without adding another mainline track to the layout. I've posted both the original and proposed trackplan. You'll see an added "Commuter/Express" line as well as the towns. I fear that the town of Willoughby will take away from the scenery if I put it where I propose...should I add it or take it out? Do I really need an Commuter/Express route or will the passenger service work on the original trackplan. The original plan has a min of 18" radius with a few 22" radius at each corner. The benchwork doesn't reflect the proposed additions of the towns, I'm waiting for your comments before adding benchwork extensions for this. Lastly, the proposed trackplan shows a switchyard on the east-end.....this was just scratched in, haven't figured out yet what kind of track config I want. Many Thanks, Steve [:D]
