The new scaletrax lower level with some Layout improvements.

The Scaletrax lower level is the portion of the layout that goes around the room. Here you could see the masonite board for the backdrop that will eventually go up.  Not installing this prior to construction of the benchwork was the biggest mistakes I made during layout construction. 

I had to customize this bridge to fit the 46 inch span crossing the doorway into the room.  It used a lionel truss bridge attached to a bracket for a garage door and then finished the girder with Atlas H.O scale bridges.

This Trestle was built using dowel rods and Balsa wood from Michaels Crafts.  A friend suggested building it so that it would open up the scenery a bit.
