Model Railroading > Crazy benchworkDate: 09/15/14 20:15 Crazy benchwork Author: Finderskeepers This is bonkers....
Shot at the new home of the Toronto model railroaders club  Date: 09/15/14 20:49 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: railstiesballast If that is "crazy", I need a definition of "normal". Looks to be high quality and well planned.
Wish I were a little crazy like that....? Date: 09/15/14 20:52 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: rschonfelder Wow. Just a while ago we were reading about how they were being booted out of their old home where they'd been since 1935 or so. Now they are at THAT stage? Applause and congratulations coming from me.
Rick Date: 09/15/14 21:20 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: TCnR Thought removing the top layer would have brought it under control, but there's another around the room layer, or two. Then the branch going into the Control Room, then I gave up, it's a bit much.

KC Date: 09/16/14 01:44 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: jobrazy That is cool!!
I would love to see the plans. Joel Brazy Coatesville, PA Date: 09/16/14 05:31 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: WrongWayMurphy Six levels is kinda crazy, but other than hockey, what else is
there for them to do? :-) Date: 09/16/14 08:31 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: ChrisCampi I would like to see more of this if you've got them.
Chris Date: 09/16/14 08:59 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: wabash2800 Yeah, it'll be less hectic (relatively so) when the scenery is up and the fascia is installed, but there appears to be many levels. I wonder how much of it will be hidden? I'd like to see a photo of the same location with scenery in. Please try and post that here as a comparison later if you can.

Date: 09/16/14 09:29 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: bigmc83 There is such a thing as trying to fit too much into a space...this looks to be it. It might not be so crazy when scenery goes up, but good luck to the old and young members trying to crawl around to re-rail equipment, fix electrical issues, and just plain see where your train is going. I applaud the planning and design, but the more railroad, the less room for people to run the trains.

Bob Date: 09/16/14 17:05 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: tomstp I would hate to be paying the bill for all that track and switches.
Date: 09/16/14 18:57 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: emd_mrs1 That's where sound equipped engines pay off. Cant figure out where your train is? Ring the bell or blow the horn.

That's just shame. -Jason (Go Habs) Date: 09/16/14 20:03 Re: Crazy benchwork Author: BAB Think that once all is sorted out, that is track and such all will be much better but trying to run a train with some distance and size requires such as this. Just trying to keep things somewhat fun in a 20 by 40 room in ON3 requires quite a bit of planning and two levels. Know that for a fact as that's what I am trying to do. Good luck to them and yes a track plan or such would be fun to see.
