My recent project is benchwork for my model railroad. The basic
frame went
together quickly, but the legs are taking some time. Nothing really
special about thier construction, it's just two 1x2s glued together
for
stability and cut/sanded/trimmed smooth.

Once was interested in model railroading.

Had the "Model Rail Road that Grows" mag as well as the "101 Track
Plans".

Found a neat 4x8 layout that had a double track, double reversing
loops and a few spurs in 101.

What I remember was the simplicity of the structure to support
everything.

A "L" fabrication front and back with more "L" fabrications at 90
degrees located as needed to provide a place to screw 1x* pieces to
support the track and scenery at the necessary elevations.

Made a control box that could be folded under when moving time came.

It was a design I found in one of the mags.

Ring any bells?
