Building Sn3 and N Worlds

By Stationmaster

Styrofoam is done

Finished up cutting and fitting the second 2" styrofoam and then a 1" styrofoam.  That gives me a 5" deep base.  The switch motors won't be hanging under the styrofoam at all (just wires) so I won't be able to hit my head on them.  I hope.I will start glueing the pieces together and to the wood support soon.  Once dry it is very strong - especially needed for me to lean over and put my hands on the base when working in the corners and back wall.  This stuff is strong.

I am waiting on a window fan to put in the window to get the fumes of the glue out of the house.  Probably in a week.  I have not glued any yet but it will go fast.

You can also see where the bridge will be - if I decide to.  For the most I don't need the bridge.  Trains will make up and leave Durango on the left leg, then pass to Mancos in the back and finally arrive on the right leg in Delores.  I will have a Y turn around to move the locomotive and return to Durango. Occasional I might run a passenger train or freight over the bridge and have the opposite schedule like it came from the north.

The extra is my Sn3 case.  I did not want the locos in storage so they are all there.  Also several freight cars that would not fit in the storage box.  Yes - the white gloves are to handle the pieces.
