Thank you for the kind words and for following this thread. I have a lot of wiring to do before I can see how well this works - I can't wait.

Update: I have spent the last couple of days working on my workshop expansion.  I'm finding things I forgot I had in the process. I hope to have it ready for some structure building by the end of the weekend.  I should take some pictures while it's still clean.

Will do - I have a lot of stuff to move  and organize now that the expansion has really happened. I got the lighting in the new area today- love the LED lighting, all of the florescent tubes will be gone soon - so we are one step closer.

Update:  Most of my day was spent out in the outside yard getting the deck ready to stain and just enjoying the beautiful weather. I did make some progress this morning on the wiring.  Getting electricity to all those rails is going to take a few hours/days.

Thank you Karl, I got my deck staining project completed today, so I will be concentrating on my HO scale yard tomorrow.

Some yards are more fun than others.

You got that right.

Today, I finished the workbenches/lighting etc. for the new shop area.  I started the sifting, sorting, and rearranging process and remembered that I promised to post some pictures of the new work benches before I cluttered them up. This is picture is the new workbench which will serve as my layout and assembly table. I moved the t-slot table top to this workbench. My belt sanders also found a new home here.

In this new shop configuration my table saw has been moved off my rolling bench onto an extended workbench.  I also raised my workbenches 2 inches - remember my back problems last winter.  The PT recommend raising the work surfaces and spending more time working on my feet rather than sitting.  So far it has really helped.
