My new attic layout, second try!
Posted by toptrain on Monday, June 21, 2010 4:45 PM

**My large basement layout has been history for almost two years. I moved up to the attic with my layout. first with a 16' X 2' switching layout. I cut a 4X8X3/8" down the middle long ways. I have 3 small shelf units and a small 3 draw something or other that I used to support it. I layed the 2 2x8s atop some 1x6" boards to hold it together. It was kind of a test to see how it would be. It wasn't! It operated Ok but I missed the contineous running. That was the history of the attic till now.
**I have completely done away with the old except for the 1X6s. Building all new tables to support this new layout. I actually kept the idea of the 2x8s and added to it. I'll will have two parrallel main lines. I will put some small spurs off into the corrners.
