im not sure i did the pic in the previous post right
can you see it?
all i see is a white box with shapes
" border="0" />
This is my layout. I filled the track, edges, and grid with pen. each square=3 square inches so a bigger square that is 4 squares by 4 squares would = 1 square foot
Kalmbach has a couple of books on it How to Build Model Railroad Benchwork, 2nd EditionBy Linn H.Westcott and Basic Model Railroad Benchwork By Jeff Wilson.
One of these should help you.

The answer depends on a few yet-to-be-known issues....
your skills or the skill available to you,
the tools available to you,
the building materials either available or intended to be used,
the elevation requirements of your design.
The first 3 are self describing, the last one means if you designed a zero elevation change in track work/scenery you can essentially build it like a table. If track work/scenery has been designed with a healthy amount of vertical seperation then perhaps a cookie cutter still benchwork would be better.
hello everyone
ive finally decided on a track plan to build but i have no idea how to build the benchwork.
so how do you design benchwork?
i would post the trackplan but i dont know how anyway it is 10x8' and "U" shaped
