2005

March 2005

I received for my birthday this year a box of 4.5' stainless steel Aristocraft track. My long term plan is to use the long lengths of track and bend them with a rail bender once I am to the point where I can start laying track.

December 2005

After considering the alternate layout plan, I decided to rework it. One of the main considerations was that for the layout plan, I would have to drill and cut holes in the foundatin of the house to allow access to the crawlspace. After doing some measuring I decided that I could use the foundation vents as access points to the crawlspace. So I came up with the current layout plan . This plan will have a 3-4% grade going between the vent on the back of the house and the vent on the side of the house.
