i started my first ever layout last sunday and i just got done with doing all the bench work today. it's not based on any railroad and the outer mainline is going to be NS and the inter track will be CSX. those are my favorite engines and thats what runs through my city, we have a CSX far and also a NS yard. i've starting laying the cork board down tonight and right now just giving my thumbs a break.
the layout is 36"X96" and i used a layout plan from Mike's Small Track Plans Page and modified it a little since it was designed for a 78"X30" door.
here is the original layout:
Modified layout plan (The white track is now in a tunnel also. also the track now goes all the way to the edge on the left side and bottom):
here is some pictures (not very good ones though, sorry) of the bench work and some of the cork bed:
most of this track in going to be inside the mountain, each elevated track comes out of the mountain and goes across a bridge. the 3 bridges at top is at different hight level and one is at a small grade
hope you enjoy them and i'm can't wait to start running trains....
