SP&S Shelf Layout

Reinhard,

The track is a combination of modified Walthers and BKE enterprises turnouts that I have been modifying. I replaced all the CV BKE ties with ones from Fast Tracks and fill the rest in with CVMW ties. I just do not trust the plastic ties allone to keep eveything in place. Also I am replacing all the frogs with new frogs from Proto87 stores. For final touches I also replace the throw bars with new ones that look more like the prototype again from Proto87 stores.

Here is what a BKE switch looks like in process:

Here is a completed one:

Here is a Walthers switch I am "fixing"

The rest of the trackwork is CVMW tie strips with ME weathered rail placed on it.

As for the benchwork it is for the fact I know I am going to have to move. It is all box girder construction made from cut down plywood screwed to the wall. When it is time to move I have to un-do a dozen screws and it is on its way to the next house. Also the two pieces on either side of the Free-Mo need to be able to hold up the section as it will not have any leg supports under it.
