Layout Construction - October 18, 2009

Time to Lay Some Track
I received an box of cork roadbed from http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/. Now it was time to begin laying out the track plan on the foam. I started on the Lewistown area since I had placed roadbed from the tunnel the previous day.

This is after a few hours work. While starting on the roadbed, I decide to alter the track plan a little. The industrial siding and yard tracks were moved closer to front for easier access. No track in place yet.

Before finishing for the day, I decided to test fit the trestle bents to see how much modification was going to be needed. Looks like I will have some work to adjust the height of each tower.
