I hate to admit this.... but you're actually farther along than I am! lol I've got the basic framework of the layout done, still need to add a few more joists for the benchwork top (using combination tabletop and cookiecutter method), but I won't be able to buy the plywood for the top for at least another month or two. I don't like buying stuff a piece at a time, so I save up for a month or so in a 'railroad fund' and then deplete everything all at once buying whatever I need. lol I'm going to need around 9 sheets of plywood to finish everything, plus enough masonite to do the backdrop, like what you're working on in the picture. Fun stuff! Little by little though! I hope to at least have trains running (no scenery) by next winter. I am starting from scratch this time. I have a few 'toy' cars and some old Athearn locos, but since I'm going DCC only on this layout, I really don't want to use them for anything but collecting dust. lol <br /> <br />Good luck getting there! <br /> <br />
