Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway (CN & CP in1968)
Bench Work
The bench work went up in just over 6 hours using steel studs and C channel and 200 framing screws. This was inspired by a Model Railroader article last May and some recommendations from a friend of Robert's in Nova Scotia. It is rock solid and left behind no sawdust or glue stains, and a whole lot of time. The only portion left to build is a lift-out. The only tools we used were a drill, tin snips, level, square, stud finder and a hammer.

is a view of the main 14'X8' section. The open section in the
middle was originally a hinged section, but was removed as the duck
under was high enough to allow easy access. The sections were built with 8' and
10' steel studs with "C" channel every 2 feet.
