Track work is Next!

The cork roadbed is painted (at all turn-out locations and yards) and I am now ready to begin trackwork. Before I painted the cork roadbed, I used a drywall rasp to plane off and even up the cork. This is a little time consuming, dusty, and messy, but the pay-off for improved performance is well worth it!
I think my plan is the glue the track to the cork, using spikes only to hold it in place while the glue dries. Once I get some track installed, I will post photos.

I did post some photos of a railroad that was constructed at a previous house. Check in the Links section located at the right side of the page.

Thanks for stopping by!
