Pictures from yesterday's work and how the room is looking now. In the pictures, yu can see the small holes in the wall. That is the angle of the roof and the ceiling of the walkin attic the trains will be going into. The holes closest to the door is the edge of the closet you walk through to get into the attic. Now you see the tight restraints to get through the wall.
Just can't seem to get the "off the carpet" idea.
Actually working on haw the curves and the lift will fit and tie into the two sections of benchwork. The switch to the left of the screen goes to a siding next to the chimney and the switch on the right in the inner loop goes to the grain siding.

Wow, Chief, you've made excellent progress! That benchwork looks pretty darn nice. Keep posting progress shots like these!

Chief.......You need a nice long bridge ( lift up ), in front of the door, connecting both tables. What do you think??
Chuck
Chief, When is your next trip to California? Could use the help on my benchwork, your doing a fantastic job. Oh... I'll buy the grits.

Evidently the secret to good benchwork is to let the lumber age in your front yard for several years before building. Who knew?!

To all,
I agree with the title of the thread. Man, we drove thru driving snow this morning. Now the weather is nice. Maybe the Chief stopped for awhile. Seriously, tho, the bench work looks good.
Keep on training,

Someone PLEASE get Chief away from that room! We're having near whiteout conditions here*. Lots of Lake effect snow coming down.
It will be a long slow commute home tonight. Can't wait. *sigh*
*Here is between Cleveland and Akron.
More work done today. Actually the framing for the big room is done!!!!
Worked on bracing the corner at the liftout/walkthru.
The finished corner
Finished framing the knook at the chimney.

Laying out track to see how it will work with liftout.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW.
Very substantial looking benchwork but I'm wondering how hard you are really working. We have yet to have even a flurry of snow, it's looking like a brown Christmas.
I really am enjoying your pics and seeing the progress, keep up the good work. Now let's get really busy and make it snow in Iowa, c'mon---you can do it

So many roads, so little time.
CHIEF,
That one corner looks like a beaver was at it? Going to have to grade you an F+ on that one. Got to get better at the details? That is what I tell my students.

Well LAZ,
If you will remember, Chief had some of the Beavers at gun point earlier this year, so now we know what he is doing with the hostages!
Geez - temps here dropped below freezing - Chief and those Beavers must be working away!
Wow! You made fast work of that, Chief! Looks great. Table tops today? You'll be running trains on that benchwork by Flag Day! Keep up the good work.

THAT FIGURES !!!!!!!!!!!!
LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!!!!!
Did not get started until after 3 Pm. Had to take wife to some stores. Did get a Inoic Breeze air purifier for the trainroom. Just finished in the dark. Not screwed down but cut and ready.
From the walkthru closet:
From the main door:
Now this will be covered with 1" foam. Once I get this screwed down, I will put the track down to see how it fits. Then take it up in sections and put down the foam. Before putting down foam, I'll cut holes in walls for tunnels and do the same framing and subflooring in the other room.
