Well as the title says I'll be trying to show the building of my layout.
This is a 2 ft by 16ft switching layout of a fictitious short-line some where in Central Pennsylvania in the early 1900's. It does interchange (standard gauge) and transfer (3ft gauge) to the PRR main at 'Winifred Junction'. Look up the East Broad Top as one prototype possibility, there were about a dozen rail roads like the EBT in central PA during the late 1800's, early 1900's, on which this layout is based.
Space constrains (don't we all have them) dictated a switching layout. The layout is also build as two 2 x 8ft modules that can be disconnected and moved if space in another room becomes available and has the options on connecting to additional modules.
Here is the first picture (hope I can get this to work) of the modules in place and a view underneath showing the construction.
