GEC's Layout Progress

[Green_Elite_Cab]

I have for the time being solved the "falling train" problem. I have bolted a 1x6 to the side of the layout. I have more lumber and intend to do this all the way around the entire layout. The extra inches not only keep the trains safe, but allow extra opportunity for scenery

My girlfriend helped keep it all level and lined up while I mounted the plank to the side.



The extra distance will make it less likely that trains can tumble over the side, while avoiding a plastic fence.



It also allows for a little more foreground in photos.




If you notice in the first picture, my train shelf is half full. The plan is to move the "modern" (1983 and up) trains to new display cases I plan to build. My girlfriend seems to enjoy working with the wood and building things, so we'll see where it all goes. Should be fun!
