Harte Siding Model Railroad: June 2016
http://hartesubdivisionpacificjunction.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Harte Siding Model Railroad. Monday, June 6, 2016. I have used SPF 1x4's, as straight as I can find, and then topping the open grid benchwork with 1/2" plywood. The open grid work is on 16" centres, glued and screwed with deck type screws. I have built it in a semi modular fashion, in 3 sections, that will allow for future expansion as desired. 1"x4" cross bracing for leg stability. Attachment point for laminated legs, with carriage bolts. 1/4"x7" fascia installed with 3/4"pan head screws. CP Rail Manito...

Harte Siding Model Railroad. Thursday, May 12, 2016. One of the small mini projects I cobbled together over the winter was a small, semi portable paint spray booth for painting structures and rolling stock, and whatever else happened to fit inside. Argh, the cats have to get into everything. Built this with extra stuff on hand.free. 2 speed downdraft stove fan. Top view showing filter (sorry bout the fluorescent lines). Front view, there is ability to hang parts from the glass top if desired. KingstonSub...

Harte Siding Model Railroad. Monday, September 12, 2016. Wow, what a beautiful change in the weather. Todays high was 14C. My kind of weather.

Been going back and forth over track plans and what not. This latest incarnation will incorporate continuous as well as utilizing a lift out or swing down. Latest sketch of benchwork footprint.

Harte Siding Model Railroad: April 2016
http://hartesubdivisionpacificjunction.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Harte Siding Model Railroad. Saturday, April 9, 2016. Jumping in with both feet. This will be my first model railroad layout in about 40 years. Coming from the dinosaur age of model trains to the present, things have changed a thousand fold. Things like DCC, availability of structures, rolling stock and locomotives. It's a whole new ball game in more ways than one, not to mention a huge learning curve. But, we'll get there. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention Bev and Fred at Warehouse Hobbies, Win...
