As promised, digital camera now resides at our house for a few weeks, so here's the first pics of the Veiled Peaks layout . . . . benchwork complete, and the hidden "Canyon Run" loop now in place. This loop will be visible only in the canyon (lower) part of the layout.
Benchwork Part II
- Thread starter rockislandmike
- Start date
Love the benchwork Mike - it looks like it is going to be a great layout 
My only question so far is - in view of the lack of insulation (boy you guys don't miss a thing!) - is YOUR ceiling finished ? (are you watching Planeshavings? -lol)

Hey Guys, come on he's Canadian, He don't need no stinkin' insulation. Now seriously, real nice bench work Mike, good and sturdy. I also like the dual heights, maybe something I might try further down the pike!!!
Nice carpentary work rockislandmike
Looks sturdy and will be a good foundation for your layout
Now I know us Canadians have thick blood and all that antifreeze in our veins but this has to be a summer project or else it moves into a basement or somewhere else because Edmonton gets really cold during winter. For the uninitiated cars have to be plugged in over night if you expect them to start next day. I have a double car garage here in Ontario and although milder than Edmonton, it still gets far to cold to have a year round layout in the garage so mine's in the basement.
