Plywood tops cut out for PHX staging,  SP - 7th Street Yard and ATSF Mobest Yard aka (Staging).  The tops are test fitted into the locations.   Next I will need to box in the 3 sections of plywood with 1x4 and mount them to the supports.

Great Job!!!

I like your first results. Maybe if you can show us a few pictures of the "place" where you are trying to model could be helpful to bring you a better recommendation. I enjoyed the Joe Fugates videos, and I catched a lot of tips, may be it can help you too. 
I will be waiting your next steps.

Keep going.

Box Benchwork is done for the stage yard

Box type benchwork is done for the PHX area north stage yard.  Next for this section of benchwork, it will be painted to blend with the wall mural.

Question....

Is the GS&M locomotive and covered hopper above your version of a very short line???

I’m impressed again by the out of the box way you’ve constructed your bench work.  It’s nice and clean.  It also offers storage area during and after construction.  Very interesting.  Can even be tipped up for wiring and switch machine installation.

Thanks for sharing!

Do you have any photos of the brackets that it's sitting on, and how the wood is secured to it?  It looks like a neat way for me to do my shelf layout.

Long wall bench work is almost done

The upper and lower filler section needs to be built.  Each part is just a little over 2 feet.  Then time to paint it all a matching dark brown.  Same color as the hills in the back drop painting.
