[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by potlatcher [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by DSchmitt There was an article on steel benchwork in the SEPT 2002 Model Railroader [/quote] I'm not sure Sep 2002 is the right issue, but there was an article a few years back about making "domino" style benchwork with steel studs. The same article is included on the MR website under Layout Construction (here's a link I hope will work: http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/000/131ievia.asp ) I used this method for an "around the walls" track plan in a 12 X 16 room, and I am happy with it so far. The part about attaching the legs didn't work out exactly as described in the article, but I figured it out. When I went to start the project, the guys at Home Depot had no clue what I was talking about when I mentioned steel studs (and I have never found them there on my own). I found a local contractor supplier that was happy to sell me the small quantity I needed. I will definitely use steel studs for future layout construction. Tom [/quote]
