Got lots of work done...

Managed to get all the foam glued down two weeks ago. Beginning of the week managed to get all the elevations cut in and the grade pieces cut out and sanded down. Tried my best to make them as smooth as a change as possible and think I got it pretty good. Had Thursday and Friday off from work managed to get the cork glued down. Did about roughly 3 feet of the layout at a time(was limited to how many tacks I had thought a 100 would be enough was so wrong) and got a few more turnouts built while waiting for the caulk to setup in between.

Continued progress

First off thanks for all the comments to my first 2 blog entries!

Good progress but halted

I setout today, as it was quite hot and muggy out to enjoy being outside, to get the foam board glued down. I took off the precut pieces and labeled them so I was not trying to figure out what went where later. I went to get the caulking adhesive I had bought and turns out I didn't quite read the label right. The two tubes I got were safe for foamboard but further reading the label which I didn't do good enough I guess at the big box store said it was good for foam to wood but not foam to foam.

Here is a picture of the track plan drawn in AnyRail. Below that are photos of the shelving and rough foamboard(not graded or glued down yet). Hopefully photos of roadbed and trackwork not far ahead. Still have about 10 turnouts to build but will update as progress is made,
