Southern Pacific's Jefferson Branch

[ratled]

Thanks Mike.  The next week should be good for that.  

Just a reminder that I am bringing over a year's worth of progress.   Once it gets caught up it will slow down.  Nobody but Reinhard (Freelance fame) can work that fast!

Benchwork complete!

A nice milestone to reach.  Started at the Humboldt Yard and worked around the walls. I wound up using 17 of these HD brackets and some cleats in the corners (as seen in the photo in the previous thread and below).



I made sure to trim the plywood as needed so the butt joints would fall on a bracket unlike this.


 Rounded the corner as you walk into the room at the end of the yard.


Please excuse the mess as I had to move things around as I worked to put in the benchwork. Now that it is complete I can work on some proper storage solutions, start putting things away and get rid of the boxes.   I tacked up some landscape fabric for the skirt.

Enjoy the vista view while you can, when the Siskiyou area starts to get worked on the backdrop and upper valance will get installed first.









I also removed the two builder installed lights and put in four shop lights for general room lighting.  I'll dress the cords when the valance goes in.   Now on to getting the room organized......
On deck is the foam installed as seen in the pictures and testing some LED 2835 lights for under mount scene lighting.
