That looks like a great system for those in rental properties or those who simply don't have a lot of wood working tools or simply don't want to deal with a lot of mess. I'll have to give these a closer look.
Thats exactly right. There are so many practical advantages. None the least that it is a light weight system. Try hauling around 4x8 sheet of plywood by yourself. P.s. love the donation layouts!
Thanks for sharing this video and information. Very nice concept for bench work. In Nashville Tennessee we have a Maker Center with CNC Laser equipment available for use by members any time or visitors during Open House nights. There are Maker Spaces in many cities.
That's a lot of gluing, but I'll take it any day over nails & screws. The fact that you didn't even use clamps, bungee cords, or Velcro straps is evidence of its quality. Being an enjunear, I can tell the structure is both light weight and strong. 👌
Lets get level 1 done first. I was looking at all the buildings yesterday. Oh my that will take a while 😂. I am now puzzling which ones to make first. A lot of variables come into play. Do you think i should first finish one section? Or do everything a little. Work at the yard, then NN, then the brewery?
@@DubaiTrains It makes sense to place structures from back to front in places like the urban area & brewery. But there's no law that says you have to do diorama sections. In fact, it might be more realistic jumping around the layout. And more interesting. The idea is not to get burned out. We don't even have to lay all the track at the same time. I'm not.
Today was primer day. Paint in the morning and assembly in the afternoon 😂. Just like you predicted. Its all a bit sticky so i placed 2 sheets of paper in between each bolted connection. For the scenery it is a balance i guess between tackling different areas to keep it interesting, and getting a section done. NN is a big focal point so i think ill focus on that section, whilst mixing it up. But like you are used from me, i do everything in batches. That is the most efficient way. All track, all roads, all soil, etc
Great update! It's a very interesting system to complete your bench work. Does their system easily allow for dual deck layouts? Do they have integrated supports for an upper level?
Thanks! That is a good question, and I don't have the answer as I only have one level. But it would be easy to place a second layer on wall mounted brackets. That seems to me like the most straightforward way to go.
Fantastic system. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Fantastic for Ttrak!
Yes!

That is good information. All you need then is a design.
PHOTO LOOK GREAT ON PLAN OF YOUR NEW LAYOUT
I wish this was around when I built mine! next layout I am getting this!

Enjunears 'youknight' ! 😂 Did you see the destructive testing video the manufacturer made? I can basically sit on it.
@@DubaiTrains I did see that. That'll be useful when you install a train-long elevator behind the brewery & install level 2.

Great video interesting system, looks easy enough.
The big factor will always be thwcost
Thanks. The questions is, What is easy worth to you? 😉
