Today was spent finishing off the last section of the layouts fascia panels.  Behind the centre peninsula is Reading & Middletown, and these sections of the layout have been finished with both scenery, fascia's & upper valances.

And just like that, it’s October! Let’s see your latest workbench, benchwork, and model progress as we roll through another month.

Hi everyone,

I am currently refinishing the interior of my garage in Colorado with insulation and new drywall. Thankfully this opens up the opportunity for more layout space!

I am considering putting some of my existing modules on a block of cabinets mounted to casters. Remaining modules would be smaller and shelf mounted. Has this been done or something similar with custom shelves or drawers? I have the tools and ability and was going for a furniture finish level of woodwork. Photos of examples would be appreciated.

Hi,

Has anyone ever tried using EPS foam (blue or pink board) as the subroadbed for your layout?   I'm considering it since it should be lighter and easier to cut than plywood (and I want a lightweight layout). Of course it would have to be fully supported, like on a hollow core door or such, since by itself it will sag across any kind of span. Seems it should be at least the 1" thick stuff, tho 2" could be overkill.
