A Question About Benchwork
Need a little advice! Going to build a small 4x8 train table for my grandson! I am thinking about using 2x4s for the framing? Also 3/4 inch plywood or 1/2 inch maybe? I understand most prefer to use the 3/4 inch plywood, it just seems so heavy but I have read where the 1/2 inch may warp?? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

More of Iron Mountain
Here is what Iron Mountain currently looks like. As seen in these pictures I have much to do. I need to finish almost all of the buildings - windows, roofs. Add more detail to the street scenes. The big white space in one of the pictures needs a building. I am thinking about a gas station.

Modeling with Gatorfoam® CLINIC slides Day 1 March 24, 2013
Hello all. This post will be ongoing and include the slides that I used at my latest clinic on the use of Gatorfoam® (GF) and model railroading. If you GOOGLE search for "Modeling with Gatorfoam" you will also find links to the manufacture's website and some of my other posts. I plan on adding to this post, daily if possible. The last attempt I made ended up not uploading and I lost an hours worth of work.
Tip: To avoid losing data I am writing in MS Word and copying and pasting into this blog.
