I recently brainstormed with my mechanical engineer brother the whole fascia-mounted operator worktable and billbox configuration.  We turned the pencil/pick holders perpendicular to the fascia so they could be serve dual-purposes as the structural braces for the shelf.  We landed on this design showing two choices for the shape for the pencil/uncoupling pick holders:

Does anyone have experiences with neodymium magnets in the roadbed for uncoupling Kadees? Occasionally they are called super magnets.

How time fly's.... In May I started taking down the old TSR. It stands now as an empty room painted in a neutral color, ready for the hew owner of the house. I will post a few pics soon.

Good morning. I've recently moved, and with the move my layout is in a new garage (that is how we do it in Florida). My garage has an uneven floor.
