A significant construction milestone has just been
achieved. My trusty compound miter
saw, which also serves as a chop saw, has been removed from the layout
space! Layout construction has
progressed to the stage where I no longer need or want the saw nearby in the
basement. Remaining saw cuts (and
I am sure there will be many) can be handled easily up in my garage shop. In the meantime, I very much
desire to remove a major source of sawdust in the layout space. Layout constructors among my readers
will well understand this is a significant moment along the path to a
“complete” model railroad.
I have my first full operating session with my local crew
since the NMRA National Convention scheduled this coming weekend. I need the space formerly occupied by
the saw as crew space. We are well
into Fall in Western Oregon, so we will not be using the outside patio as crew
space as we did during the summer.
Further, the long-planned-for kitchenette is moving along toward
use. All of the base cabinets have
been assembled and placed. They
now await the countertop (ordered) and sink installation.
Compound miter saw in its
habitual location for the past three years.
Crew space cleared and
kitchenette taking shape.
Layout Design SIG materials packed for shipping for next
year’s NMRA National
Convention. Other than the
convention, these have occupied key space in my garage for the past
year-plus. Another milestone! This needed to be shipped to make way
for the saw.
