Here are some layout construction pics. The first section (upper left on track plan) was built this spring:

The next section (upper right on track plan) is being constructed as we speak, after a long break from layout building. Here I am test fitting the parts before gluing them together:

Since the last pic I have glued all the parts including the top, transferred the track plan from printouts onto the section, and cut holes for the switch motors. I still have to cut the scenery profile in the back corner, cut out the holes for the carrying handles in the ends, and glue down the foam roadbed before painting the section.
