I'm a thinking some day those nasty trees got to go and replace them with something that does not litter the track and cause you to have derailments. I think some tree killer at the roots would take care of it and just tell her the heat got em plus to dry.

Nice touch Jim. Reminds me of my indoor layout days. I was planing on being in your area during the KC show but sounds like you will be gone. Later RJD

Jim I have also thought about just adding some type of selving under the structure to store additional cars also. As you have found out it does not take long to fill up the track space and now you wonder why as it sounded good at the time that one could store lots of cars, WRONG. Been there done that.

Well he does both so I would thing that with the plastic track that is what he will do. I also use some of the Train-LI track but it was at the back end so I can still use DCC but I did recoup about 25 ft of SS track which is good. Later RJD

Yep Jim thats where I made my mistake and not painting prior to the final roof assembly. Looks good and slightly a bit different than what I did but it should work fine, Later RJD

Looking good Jim. Yep you defiantly need to use deck screws when doing this project. Makes it a lot easier and stronger. Later RJD
