Let the fun begin.
The walls and ceiling are completed and the floor is painted. Benchwork begins this weekend.

Can't really say on that. I can only say that the benchwork is solid when the roadbed is attached. The bottom frame is secured to the floor with concrete screws so the bench doesn't slide. The plywood rectangles are cut from 1/4" plywood. The verticle 2x4s and the 2x4s the secure the roadbed to the plywood are what provide the strength to the structure.I've got to say, your 'structure' for the layout is very unconventional, in my experience. Makes me want to stay tunned. Any idea if you're using any less lumber than if you had built something more 'conventional?'
wow thats impressive. are you doing all the work yourself??? how much do you have invested into lumber for your bench work, if you dont mind me asking??
looks like you will have one awesome mainline run that will just keep going and going, almost looks bigger then alot of club layouts... cool. cant wait to see more pictures
