More Progress; Yard Frames Built!

Despite the colder than average attic this month, I managed to get the last of the three frames completed and the foam cut and fitted inside the frames. Now if the glue sets over the next couple of weeks i can attempt to finish the edges and get the yard section in place. After that it's run the rest of the mainline and start the trains!

But first; I mention partly recessing the foam into the frame section. I trimmed a channel around the edge of the faom sections where needed so that it sit halway inside and half above the frame. Not sure why, but I thought it would be better not to have a bare section of wood on the edge of the section; it is in effect a solid foam sub roadbed. Here's a shot of one section:

There are also eight 2"x2" supports and four plywood cross bars to support the foam, so it's not all down to the edge to keep it together.

Here's the three sections stacked for drying:



Like I said, getting there...
