Sailormatlac 2012 Resolution Challenge

Cleaned the room and moved the book shelf higher. Track will be at approximatly 42 1/2" high.




I found enough hollow core door in the basement to make everything. The layout will be built in three section. However, I'm thinking about fastening together permanently the main shelf and the corner parts. A gap were 3 track meets at angle isn't the wisest idea out there. The switching lead / fiddle track will be a separate part. I'll make it larger. It will accommodate a second track, mainly esthetic, that will serve as backdrop to showcase other freight cars and hide the roof angle.



The next step will be installing the shelfs brackets and built the lighting valence. I'm not too sure how I will build it though. At least, I want it to blend well with the actual book shelf.

For the trackage, I'll most likely work with Central Valley ties strips, still need to decide if I go with code 55 or code 70... I'm leaning toward code 55, but maybe that's a little bit too far fetched for me. I'll probably settle on code 70 to save myself unwanted issues.
