Installing the Extension Storage...

I've been progressing with the installation of the storage shelves for the new section over the last week.  These are the existing shelves from our garage, once installed I will begin installing the additional layout bench work over the top of these.

This section will be the main layout staging area, that will be built and operated as a classification yard.  The framework also hide the storage shelves and everything under them, I'll be installing drop curtains that will go down the carpet square mats.

This section is the original entrance to the layout, I had to frame it out to support the mezzanine level.  In order to help seal out the dust & dirt, and further reduce any climate changes throughout the year I've installed the wall paper and filled in the gaps with insulation.

This area will also have new sections of layout installed and will be set up like the photo above, but will also get drywall/plaster.  The left section of new layout will house the yard lead from the yard to the centre peninsula and the lead to the new south section of the L&T Branch, these two areas from a "Y" for the layout.

The right section above the workbench and dispatcher nook will house the new Diesel Service & Maintenance Facility.  Then it will be time to move onto the workbench & dispatch nook area.
