<P>Needed a new place for new layout and change from O scale to HO. Bought 12x12 shed, installed insulation, electrical service and outlets, exterior paneling to interior walls, lighting, and vinyl flooring. Placed skirting around exterior from floor level to ground to keep cold air and critters out. Built table with l-girder 1x4's, joists each 16 inches, 3/4 inch plywood top, 2" foam insulation board. Caulked and painted all sides of everything to minimize expansion/contraction and used bolts and screws (no nails).</P> <P>1'x2' extension for hump yard installed with shelf brackets and topped as above. BTW, table is only 5'x9'. Built work table and installed wall shelves. Bought portable 3 drawer storage cabinet and book case. Bought 11 loco's, 2 w/sound, six decoders, 15 rolling stock, NCE Power Cab, MRC Prodigy Express and PA Handheld, extension plates, wiring, tools, test equipment, disposable items, and a lot of Kato Unitrack/NCE Switch Kats, electric fan, electric heater, vacuum, air brush, etc.</P> <P>Since May to date, estimate $7,500.. Next twelve months forcast at less than $500. Thanks for reminding me.</P> <P>Don</P> <P> </P>
