Thanx Phillip, and to all those that opened the posting for a look around...   thanx to ya'll too.....  

Well I got busy this morning (Monday) doing a little more 'rough - in' carving and went back over the measurements to correct the width of the main rock formation...it was way too wide..   ...so I carved it back on the right side (if you're facing the layout) and worked a little on the left side as well....although not much came off that area in the way of width, it was more 'shaping'      ....The reason for all this 'modification', was in order to start laying out the track work, the open area needed to be a certain 'minimum size' width ... the depth (front to back) was OK but I had to take off about 5-1/2 inches from the centerpiece rock formation.. ...I decided to go ahead and use the 15-1/2 inch TT that I had; the one I put so much work into 'scratch-bashing' instead of buying a 12-1/2 inch TT...   ...and luckily I had left enough 'room' in the scale track plan for such an eventuality        ...and by 'shifting' some track a bit, I was able to add a siding.. ...so now it's back to gluing and then more carving... ...OH YEAUGH, I almost forgot...the TT fit just fine ..and it looks like all the structures will have enough room....and so the plaster 'paper towels' on the risers can begin as soon as the gluing and carving is done..... ...I'd like to finish that by this weekend if possible......       thanx again for stoppin' by......

Here's what I've done so far.....................
I like the way the TT fits in ......


....all the other bldgs.(L.C.*) also fit in just fine.....        


Bubbles likes the progress            ...........

An overall view......................


That's all for now,...hope ya'll like the progress....I'm not able to 'GO AT IT' like I used to..       ....but I'll just keep "pluggin' away", and it'll move right on down the road.....         .......ya'll stop by anytime....   .....see ya......

Thanx Larry C*.....and thanx to anybody that popped in while I was away         .................

INSTALLING THE TURNTABLE.                 ....the little voice in my old and decrepit noggin   just wouldn't let 'it' go              .....so...     "I grabbed my knife and I did it"           ..."That's my story your honour, and I'm stickin' to it.."     ........here'it is....................




How's it look??...I know it's not completely leveled....I always install a half of a strip of cork roadbed around the edge under the lip of the TT in order to match the height of the entry/exit track and the whisker tracks...... ...it always works extremely well with this TT....so there it is........Thanx again for stoppin' in....."ya'll sit a spell next time", "and we'll visit proper"...             .....all for now .....see ya.....         .................

Howdy Kyle, 

The layout is coming along nicely.  The TT install was a success and looks perfectly placed.  Great work.

If you are like me, mornings are good; the afternoons are nap time.  Persist!

Have fun,
mike
