So, a long time between drinks, in the meantime to cut it short life has gotten in the way and after some set backs I've adopted two new hobbies as a beekeeper and a Volvo owner. Needless to say both have kept me poor for the last 4 years until recently when new employment means a move and some money starting to come in.
My last, like, 10 attempts met with failure due to a lack of funds at critical points to progress so my mojo dies by the time I cared enough, and the dreams of grandeur of youth meant I wanted to be too big too fast, reading back the last three pages almost feels cringe worthy to the point I feel I owe an apology.
I'll test out the gallery function on TRW and post these ideas up, I've discovered that you can buy sheets of black plastic clad plywood of about 17mm (11/16") thick for concrete forms for extremely cheap for what you get. I also cut wood on a table saw for beehives so I have a jig made up so I've played with the idea of a shelf layout. But I'm going to go for the simple roundy roundy. Again this is Brooklyn, very late 80's, probably condensed to one city block with the centre section given over to the U shaped warehouse of the Bush Terminal with the tracks in the centre courtyard.
Two ideas are current, the difference is subtle between the ideas but I would like on one side to have a front and back track running off so I can build an extension or a pair of staging cassettes in future. I would like one of the curves to be coming off a turnout but I can't make it fit in the space.
According to the big green box the plywood is 1200mm by 595mm (or 2' by 4') but experience shows me this is more 598/600 by 1203, my plan reflects the reported diemnsions and any extra space is considered a bonus even if it's a millimetre.
Famous last words but this time around we'll try and use the KISS methodology.
