So! Me and my dad are planing on using my old room to build an n scale layout. We have a friend in the local club that we we probably be going to frequently for questions and what not. The space we plan to use is up against the wall of the room in a big L shape the dimensions of what we have to work with is roughly 13' by 9' and we where looking to go 3 feet out from the wall. I used to have a small 3 by 4 table top layout in my room that my cat carefully destroyed and do to the limited space is why i chose N scale and i just had some foam bored on there and started to plan the lay out when the cat decided to play. Any who this was a few years ago and now we are starting over and hope to improve on what we had. ive seen alot of pictures of bench work on the internet and have a fairly good idea of what i want to build now my questions are what boards do we use we where using 2x4s but from what ive seen on the internet it is much thinner then that what do we use starting from the ground up as many tips as we can get is appreshated
