Hi Tom,

Thanks for stopping by.  Yes you can still find carbon paper in the stationary stores.  Some of us still know there is such a thing.

Hi Andy,

Glad to be able to continue laying track.  Glad you are following along.

I cut out the sub roadbed for the staging track and I have tried place it where it is to go under the upper deck.

Nice progress Steve.

Stay cool and run steam........

So this is the prefabbed staging yard.  I have installed the track, roadbed, switches that are going to be hidden and the feeder wires.

The tricky thing is going to tie the two ends to the existing main line.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for taking a look at my progress. I have a lot of track work to do now.

I don't comment much, but I'm enjoying this thread. It's a benchwork clinic. Nice work!

Attached are the pictures of the staging area in place except for the wiring which I will finish up tomorrow.  Thanks to John Siekirk for the idea to prefab this.  He posted on his site a while back about, prefabbing some roadbed and track inside one of his mountains.

Pre-fab and then install?!! Why would you ever want to do something that smart and simple! I would rather struggle for days trying to reach and pull wire and track and not be able to see what I am doing... Just kidding of course!  That is an excellent idea and looks like it make for a much more simplified installation. I have to squirrel this away for the time when I need it.

Thanks for posting your progress, very helpful.

Hi Darryl,


It is one of those things you might not think about at the time. And then when you get done, you say to yourself, why didn't I prefab it.
