OK Guy's,
We are off and running again with the next section of the layout.
This section will be about 3 1/2 feet long by 2 foot wide, it will mainly be a scene block between Tomah and Camp Douglas. The scene will consist of a gas station scene, a small logging scene, and a few bluffs covered in trees and rock faces and if I have room the stone and wood pavillion that is there.
I have finished the framing on the wall and put in a benchwork support in the corner.

next we will glue down the 1 1/2 inch foamboard.

Hey Andy when you do a section like this is it a module so you can take it off if needed to

TM,
These are up for good, no taking them down!!
I know most of you have seen or done this before but I am putting it up for some of the newer guy's to see.
1 1/2 inch foamboard glued to the benchwork using Liquid Nails for Projects.

Hey Andy, have you posted the track plan for this? Or do you lay it out as you go? Its a little hard for me to visualize the layout without seeing the plan.

When the guy blasts holes through his walls for his layout, he isn't planning on taking it anywhere!

Right you are TD!!!!

SDKid, I don't have a whole layout track plan posted, it is to big, This section isn't alot of track, just a double track main coming across at an angle. When I get to a section with turnouts and sidings I post a plan in the track plan section. There is a plan in there for the Tomah yard. Most of it is stuck in my head anyways!!

The last time I was in the local Dollar Store I ran across latex caulk ,four tubes for a buck, real cheap stuff but ok for this purpose. I grabbed a few white and a few brown. I use this to fill in the seam when I put two panels together.

I will look for that plan. Do you start in the middle and work both ways? Or at one end?

SD,
I started at one end and I am moving around in order, town to town. These are all real places so it isn't to hard to know the order.
