    visual and audio stop two-thirds through the presentation of both segments. Are you aware of this? Otherwise, it is a mighty fine presentation, one that I will use once I start building my RR empire. HA!

    Hi Ken

    If you start the video, then pause it for about 30 seconds and then press play, this helps. Sometimes the connection is slow so the video plays faster than it can download.

    Regards

    Thanks. These videos are awesome. I am a novice builder and could not have done it w/o these videos. I dont’ think I would have even tried without them.

    Thanks again.

    Most excellent information. I just finished (yesterday 12/01/21) building 3-1/2 of these tables using 1/2 in spruce plywood (birch available through special order only up here in Quebec) throughout for my O-scale layout which is to be 6′-6in wide by 14 ft long. Surprisingly sturdy yet fairly light. The ajustable feet are absolutely essential for leveling and alignment. Two variations I’ve done following recommendations from my hobby shop (JacHobby-Montreal): a. drilled 1/2 in holes every 6 in in the cross-braces and side braces for routing wiring. b. using 2 in blue styrofoam for the top. Apparently blue styrofoam is dense enough to allow (lightly) screwing the track down to the styrofoam. Also, O-scale being 1/48, 2 in thick represents 8 scale ft of depth for ditches, rivers, etc, etc.
    I’m ready to glue the styrofoam to the top, paint it, then (woopie !) start laying track (MTH RealTrax).
