Benchwork - Roadbed

The Tiltable Book by Ray Mathews

Has anyone heard of or read THE TILTABLE BOOK by Ray Mathews? It seems to be popular in MRR Clubs. Any ideas on why that is? Is the idea of a tilting table of use to lots of modelers? I'm really curious. I see it's been adapted to N-TRAK tables -- could that be a reason? Appreciate any thoughts you might have.

The C T central

After looking at all the other posts on here I decided to start my own blog. Attached are pics of my coffee table central n scale layout. It started with a 3 by 3 coffee table from a yard sale. I think its an IKEA model but I'm not sure. It measures 37 inches square and the layout itself is 36 inches square. 1/2 pink foam was glued and svrewed to the table top. As there are no turnouts or grades I cut risers for each progressively taller loop from extra foam. The roadbed is also pink foam joined at the seams with foil tape.

Introducing the Here N There RR

I guess it's time to introduce mu N scale RR under construction. It goes from "Up Here" to "Down There" It/s in a 9' X 12' room. The equipment will be mostly from the North East. It will be bi-level around the wall shelf type.

First I built the helix / nolex.

 

Masonite Glue?

I was thinking Contact Cement (like on Formica) would make a very strong bond between pieces of masonite.  Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

A middle school model railroad

I'm a middle school math teacher. This last year I began to use model railroading as a vehicle for engaging my students with fun, interesting and educational activities that have vivid connections to meaningful real-world themes.
