Benchwork
Sam wants to hear from others in the hobby and asks:
“I have started on my layout and I’m using Sievers Benchwork. I have started with a turntable and Roundhouse. The turntable is Walthers 130′ and I will sit it in 2″ foam and will use 1/4″ plywood/w/1/2″ Homasote. I will use ceiling tile rail to hold in place. That way I will be able to lift out and clean or preform maintenance when necessary. I just wanted to know if your readers think that should work?”

Hi Sam, All sounds good…but why the homasote? With the plywood and a good frame below all you need is the plywood and the 2″ foam. Homasote is too heavy and for me too difficult to work with. If you have good bench work/frame you should be good to go and with the foam the possibilites are endless. Tony P
