This is the first of 2 sections that will comprise my point to point layout . It is 10' x 30" but the second section will be V-shaped rather than another rectangle for reasons that will be apparent down the road .
I think I'll keep this thread as my personal diary so as to " stay the course " and not get off on a tangent with another project ( like I usually do ) .
I did put a track plan to paper and hope to follow it pretty closely . This area will be somewhat of a city scene while the second section will be dockside .
I didn't have any 2x2's in 42" lengths , as planned , so spliced together 1x4's to go with the 1x3 rails . I made sure the splices were at the same level on the legs so as to create a "shoulder" that will make it easier to install shelving later on .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
