OK,I'm a liar.Ain't nothing useful about a thread if there is nothing there to show you progress.
Well anyway we are making some progress on the layout but nothing to brag about.I do have a couple pictures though.
First pic up is what we have been calling the left corner.Underneath all the junk setting on it the road bed is in the process of being widened to accomodate the HO track on 2.5" centers.Where the half round shapes are will be concrette culverts to allow water to flow under the tracks.The entire bank will be rip rap to help support the tracks.
This next picture is the Rioght hand corner and as you can see it has leg extentions.These are 8" long and nicely raise the layout to a height that is fairly easy to duck under. It looks like I should have straightened that right leg before I took the pic.
There is one more progress pic but it is so blurry it's hard to tell what it is.
