Boring Layout Progress

[fifer]

Here is some of my weekends work.
I got the foam flooring in the train room.
Put in about 80 sq ft. Man it's nice to stand on! Lowe's for about $85.00.

Your thread title was irresistable! I like that flooring! Should be real comfortable.

It has been something I think is usually overlooked on most railroads is long term standing comfort and most of us spend a long time in there.

Great looking floor, never would've thought to use that stuff:thumb:

After pounding the garage floor for the past couple of weeks working on the layout,
my feet are saying "Fantastic idea!"

That looks great.

Mike:
Could this go over old lino tile?
Do you think I could put it under the existing layout?

David , That is exactly what I did. They do not stick down and are very light , so they can be picked up in case you need to but once they are all attached they tend to stay in place. I just laid them down over my (part linolium and part concrete) floor and cut around the legs and doorway and such with a GOOD carpet knife. Buy one if you do not have one if you lay these.

Hi,

Good idea!! We usually focus on getting the layout up & running and give little thought to "creature comfort". This should make your stay in the train room a deal more pleasant.

Fifer - I notice you're from Las Cruces, NM. My road is the Las Cruces & Portales RR. You might take a look at it. I've posted some pics in the Scenery forum (Gus' Layout party...)

Gus , I like the pictures and it looks like you are off and running there.
Were you from around here??
