After watching many model railroad videos we've come up with a theme and how-to. We're going to go with a post apocalyptic steampunk theme in HO. We're also going to build on 6 foot folding tables for mobility. My last layout got destroyed when we had to move. That's not going to happen again. Plus we now live in an apartment. I'll be making wheeled racks we can slide the tables into for transportation. Our first section is going to be on 4 tables.
I work 12-14 hour days 5-6 days a week so progress is slow. So I won't be adding updates very often but here's what we have so far.
The first picture is the first of our "benchwork." I'm going to put 2" foam on the tables so I can dig down and to deaden the sound.
The next 4 pictures are our track plan. I find I work better with a loose idea of what we want then adjust and modify as I go.
The last is our current rag tag fleet acquired with a starter set, some swap meet stuff, and some stuff given to us.
