What is the name of the type of bench work you used i am rather new to the hobby what is the width of your sections of your layout thanks

[mrfifer]

It is called L girder because of the L shape of the supports and then you put 1 X 4 risers on top of that to get your level of the layout base . You can then screw risers to the 1 X 4 uprights to raise and lower sections of track as needed.

Hope that helps , Mike

[mrfifer]

I need it when I run the layout on DC it really serves no function when using DCC.

Thanks , Mike

@Trainguy57 The panel is made out of Plexiglas in the track strips were done with strip styrene then the whole thing is painted and once it is dry the tops of the individual track sections are painted with ink-based paint pens that I got any art supply department of hobby lobby.

Thanks, Mike

trackspike64 I might suggest you take a look at part 14 as I added some more track to the table. No more house but more work and inspection track.

Thanks , Mike

not much house storage for all that area even my small layout will house 12 engines
