You are correct, I’m done cutting.I believe he's talking about where you have your overhead line marked out on the main plywood sheet. Where you have the blocks sitting for support of the overhead high-line trackage.
And, I'm pretty sure you're NOT going to cut that strip out of your main plywood sheet, but rather, either use a separate strip of plywood to support the high line trackage, or else truss and girder bridges to support it as shown in the book. Correct?
Thank you, I’m a pretty good builder but not so good with the details. That’s where my son and grandson take over.I'm really impressed by your work. I envy you a bit.
Yes, that was what I was talking about. Marked in yellow. A friend of mine cut that strip out to put on top of the risers. Trying to save $5 of plywood costs. It was a mess on several counts.
Mine doesn’t. It came as a package deal with a Teed Off, which works and is pretty fun.
I can see where that would be bad.
Heck yeah kinda sorta.Now I understand ! You have a complete team for building your layout. Lucky you !

For the price of new cars I’m gonna have to upgrade the three I have.
the engine runs pretty good, one of the cars the wheels won’t stay in the holes the snap into.We've been having a discussion about static grass on another thread, so have a look through, it may help.
Static grass
To make a short story long, the money I was going to use towards a $70 static grass applicator I spent on roses for my wife's 75 birthday (she's been so good putting up with the messes and helping on the layout). So, in lieu of an applicator, can I use a battery power DeWalt shop vac to make the...

Ah! ok you can get brass bearings that you can glue in to reduce the overall width, you may have to "pad" the original slightly so these stand proud, these are Peco R30.
Ah! The hurry up and wait game, very annoying.
