Added Benchwork
Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 1:30 am
Built this addition for the layout last year in February and still looks the same now..lol.
Little warning, don't buy the white beaded foam board. It makes a mess and expands.
New benchwork minus foam board.
With foam board in place with a great fit.
Swing gate.
Swings down.
An idea for anyone. If you need a little extra thickness of styrofoam, the flat part of meat packages work well. Plus most of the packages are the same thickness as cork. The meat packages in the picture are the red and others next to it.
Close-up of the boards that hold the 2" thick foam board.
Here's how the gate is held up.
I have two "barrel bolts" on each end. Just have to slide the bolt into the hole on the face of the board.

Here's what the new part looks to the main layout.
