Thank you for the kind comment.

I'm not looking forward to removing the track work to put down the cork roadbed, but that's next.

It is, of course “Dead Rail”.

 

I have documented the build, thus far, on my Website, “A Journey Into HO Scale Model Railroading in the 21st Century”.

http://www.theampeer.org/HO

 

The section titled, “My First HO Train Layout in a Long, Long Time; the process”, covers, in detail, the build of my benchwork, track plan and running the first trains on the layout.

I have created a play list for the layout series of videos on YouTube.

As a reminder, I’ve also created a playlist for my “Making and Using a Portable Dead Rail Demonstration HO Layout Parts 1 - 10

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLREtyERkF2NxlxysmkTpJwUcXrZVXu45m

 

My Channel on YouTube is noted as Electric Flyers Only of southeastern Michigan, because it was originally started for my electric RC flying videos.

 

Enjoy and let me know what you think,

Ken
