Benchwork - Roadbed

Ramblings on a Garden Railroad

I have not seen many posts in garden layouts. My interest is a railroad to serve the Lilliputians living among the bushes and around the edges of my yard. This would be designed to operate as any of the smaller scales and based on railroad practices as much as I have knowledge to do. Help here is appreciated. 

Please consider following along and provide your input. I am very open to ideas and look forward to a new journey.

Sealing wood benchwork

I am about to buy lumber to build my small layout. I am using pine lumber and 1/2 fir plywood. I want to make it look good from the start so am considering staining and applying polyurethane to the bench work frame and legs. Would it also be worthwhile to prime and paint the plywood on top and bottom? I am thinking a light grey colour. The layout is small enough that it wouldn't be a major outlay of cash or time but I am wondering if there would be any benefits to doing so.

Let’s see your fascia!

A WPF recently got sidetracked over fascia design and color. I really found everyone’s design and choices interesting. Please post yours here or ideas for making it more attractive, efficient, useful, etc.

Thanks!
