Here is an update of the benchwork. I attached the legs to the table and added casters. The table is very solid, and now with the casters, I can roll it out for easier access. Joe
All, Here are a few photos of my benchwork/layout progress. A few months back I posted a message requesting help with benchwork ideas. Many of you provided great input and some nice photos, especially ChiefEagles and Buckeye Riveter. I built a 5'6" x 10' table out of 1 x 4s and 2 x 4s using an example from CTT's "Layout Examples for Toy Trains." It is the box benchwork example using sawhorses as the legs. My plan is to attach the legs and forgo the sawhorses. Also, I plan to add casters to the bottom of the legs to allow me to easily move the table out from the wall. As you can see, the table is in the garage as that is the only place I have room. It is only 40” high and I can reach just about every part of it with a step ladder, but I like the idea of being able to pull it out from the wall for more extensive work. ChiefEagles sent me some photos of his legs with levelers on them, and I was wondering if anyone used casters with levelers? The layout is fairly simple and a forum member from the Yahoo Fastrack group helped me out considerably. The plan is to have a small town in one of the figure 8 loops and have coaling operations on the other side. I will run two trains (one coal/freight and one passenger) running in conventional mode for now. The current track configuration you see is not the final plan I just received and will use. I appreciate any comments and suggestions, especially if you have any experience with casters. Joe
