…......................................... .--- Hidden Coal Siding Pt. 1 ---

============================================

On the preceding page ( HERE ) I explained how adding a siding for part of the 'empty' coal train in the hidden staging area would allow that train to be longer. Below is Pt. 1 of doing that.

I use CDX plywood for about everything I build including furniture and boat mods. It is usually pretty knot free on one side and if I'm using it where it will be seen (like for the layout fascia) I'll hit it for a minute with the belt sander. Our lumberyard usually has this in good condition, can't say the same for what I've seen at the 'big box' stores. Check you local lumberyard if they haven't been put out of business and you might find better lumber there than the big box stores and maybe for even less (my case).

Much more info on building the layout using 'risers' ( HERE ).

I have cereal every morning so no shortage of Cheerios and Bite Size Shredded Wheat boxes to use for making patterns.
