I'm very lucky to be marrying a girl who understands. For Christmas, she gave me two beautiful HO scale New York City subway trains. I said I would build a little world for them. I decided on a Coney Island rail yards shelf layout. It will be a very simple switching diorama with "compressed" models of rides providing the backdrop. (I've done a lot of this kind of work as my entire living room wall is a New York skyline diorama - completely lit - and only two inches wide in spots.) Anyway, she wants this little slice of Coney Island displayed on the check-in table (where guests will pick up their table assignment cards at our wedding.) My plan will fit on a 1x6 baseboard, and will be displayed on a 3x6 table with the cards in front. My question is about benchwork. Obviously it will be sitting on a table. But how much space should I provide underneath for wiring, and what kind of support should I build? Surely I don't need a lot, as it is very small and most of the structures will be cardboard. Any thoughts? Thanks!
