😎👍

Thank You Dave a true credit to the Hobby! Happy Railroading Kid!

Enhorabuena 👏👏👏

Excellent Dave…I’m lucky if I know where to put the smoke fluid in…..😢

great song

Very nice like it and great music to go with it

Que chuleria la 1600 Pensilvania que Gozada

Looking good so far!!

Dave it looks Awesome! Build it slow and Steady. You get much better results that way. Taking breaks and thinking about your next plan of attack is your best solution. We’re all excited for you. Watching you design and build this layout is a great series. I’m picking up a lot of good pointers, and bet everyone else is as well. Great job! Tom

Fantastic work Dave! Inspiring me to get to work on my layout.

Don't sell yourself short on your carpentry skills Dave, that benchwork looks first-rate! I concur, once you get the foam secured to the table I'm sure the whole assembly will stiffen up. Maybe add a couple of braces "just in case" but I wouldn't worry too much. By the way, that 2 x 4 you've got on the wall is exactly the way the backside of my own layout's supported. Looking forward to the nexr installment

Never underestimate the importance of good benchwork. Good idea to cut the corners at an angle. Can't wait to see what is next.

Seems to be moving along. I have to say I’m retired and I don’t have the time to put into trains that you while working a job are demonstrating. Building layout, fixing trains, shopping for trains on road trips, train shows, and these train videos ……….. how do you find the time?

Looks good! I used an open grid benchwork (as you have here) on my first layout, and will do the same on the next. I found 1x3s more than solid enough for the framing, but I'd prefer 1x4 or even 1x6 (or maybe 1/4" plywood strips 6" deep) for the fascia fronts. I like your method of using foam board insulation for the horizontal surfaces. My layout had several grades, and I made them using 1x4 vertical supports holding up custom cut sections of 3/8 plywood to hold the roadbed and track: it was overkill, structurally. I found that if you brace things correctly, you can use much lighter materials without sacrificing strength and stability. Thanks as always for your posts: looking forward to more progress!

Looking good Dave. I'm sure once you have the track down, it will be a great expansion.

use deck bracing method 1 1x4 flat on its side from back right corner to front left corner underneath [google deck bracing] 2 angle cuts on ends secure where it crosses frame will eliminate wobble

Looking good Dave I know you can do it you're pretty good at what you do cannot wait until it's done

kids looking at catalogs......ha.....the only kids looking at Lionel catalogs are over 40

Is the frame 1x4 or 1x6? I was going to use 2x4 but yours looked much easier to work with.

Looking good Dave

Great progress on the Layout Expansion 👍👍 Like you Dave, I do some of my indoor construction work in my pajamas 😄😄 Thanks for sharing 🌞🌞

It's looking great Dave! Can't wait to see it progress even further

Exciting stuff, Dave. If it's a matter of raising the bench work, it's easy to shim on top of the cleat. I dadoed my wall cleats for a half lap so that the bechwork slipped in and locked the benchwork in place. It helps to provide additional support and rigidity and loocks the benchwork to the wall without anchors. If the block wall is sound without any plaster, the liquid nails should provide adequate bonding once dry. I use CR-26 construction adhesive, and that stuff never fails at the point of contact of the bond itself on concrete. Keep the videos coming. Love seeing your progress

Hey Dave looks great. I didn’t hear you say if you pre drilled holes before screwing the framework together? I’m just curious if you can screw into 1 by without worrying about splitting or cracks. I’m about to start this process in the next week or so.

Good Job Take it slow and enjoy peace out!

Looks great Dave

Great job so far Dave. Can't wait to see the next installment.

You made a lot of progress Dave. The layout is coming along nice!

Hope it works out for you.

Strong Work!!! Really good start!!!

Very nice! That bench work looks pretty solid, for sure. I'm not sure about the nails holding over a long period of time. When we put the shelving up in my train room, we used a concrete drill bit and special screws designed for concrete and block. I have a fair amount of stuff on the shelves and I certainly didn't want anything coming down on the layout or my noggin'. Either way, the expansion looks like it's coming along at a good pace An excellent video, as always.

I've contemplated using 2x4's for all my framing, or "cheating" and using a Mianne Benchwork kit. Did you use 1X4's & 1X6's? That gives me another interesting option. I'm not sure if any benchwork I end up building will support my 300+ lb frame. :)

Is the benchwork screwed to the wall blocks?

Love all the bridges.

Nice, looks good and sturdy

At hardware store they have a mini blue screw lag pack for concrete with a concrete drill bit incl for 10$ Get a pack and go thru that block Those nails aren’t good if someone heavy falls on it or leans on it but the lags will absolutely fix this

great video Dave! It was great to see you we all had a great time checking out the layouts!

Finally had a second to watch your update. Sounds like plans are happening for your layout. I seem to have a similar problem with speakers accumulating in my house!

Very nice Pennsylvania and Baltimore ohio passenger trains

Got to love the S2 steam turbine. I want to get one for myself.

Cool tune. 🎶🕺
