This week I received several sections of Atlas, Micro Engineering, and Peco code 83 flex track. I did not order any Shinohara for comparison... but the 3 brands I did get are very nice! Much nicer than the code 100 track I used on previous layouts. The 3 samples are close enough in detail and appearance that I consider them interchangeable and will just go on price when it comes time to order more. I also ordered some code 70 for the non-main line tracks, and am working on a list of appropriate turnouts.
Now... my next order of business is I plan to start benchwork soon... so can anyone here recommend threads, either here or on other forums, that show the earliest stages of layout building? I want to see what other people's benchwork look like before I start building my own. I am considering using 3/4" plywood for the framing members and foam for the base... thanks in advance.
