Benchwork will be open grid using 1x4 pine. I can't wait to break out my framing nail gun!

I hope that this is just a figure of speech.  YOu are going to use screws, right?

I think he was being funny. Framing guns are barely controllable enough to hit the end of 2x4s. Ask me how I know. :scared:

A medium brad nailer might work, but I'm with you, screws are it when it comes to benchwork.

I bought my wife an iPad for her birthday and HAD to test out the video function  ;)

The C&NW RS3u was built and weathered by Charlie Hopkins. I installed the ESU Loksound select micro and took the video on my Kingsbury branch.


Lots of great stuff this weekend, but this is my favorite........VERY NICE!

I, too, have been making some (slow) progress on my 2nd and 3rd SP SW1500 bashes, which includes the addition of the air tanks, more grab irons and more radiator detail work.

Terrific work!   8) 8) 8)

All I did this weekend was let a Bachmann 2-8-0 lettered for the B&M (and custom-weathered) that belonged to my friend Tony (rest his soul) pull a wood-side reefer drag, with my kitbashed PRR bobber on the end, around for close to 11 hours on Saturday. It had 7 stock Atlas reefers up front and the rest were all my feather-weight MT fitted Atlas reefers.

Got a little more done on the elevator this weekend. Dust collector and delivery chute.
Started loading dock but I think I might want to go wood.


I sure hope Santa brings a camera :D

Ed:  That's why all of my tunnels are fully line, even the unseen ones through the walls to the staging yards in another room.  I didn't want to risk losing a car insdie the wall and having to cut  the wall apart!

Peteski:  I can see using nails IF the boards are also well glued.  The nails will hold until the glue dries, then it doesn't matter if they come out or not, as a good glue joint is often stronger than the wood.  If the nails are the primary fastener, I agree, use screws.
