Cork Roadbed goes on.


The Prince William County Model Railroad Club assisted in building a layout at a local train hobby shop, the Rip Track in Woodbridge, Virginia. Unfortunately, the Rip Track was forced to close and the layout was removed. The photos and drawings provide an excellent step-by-step guide to building a medium sized layout. Designed by Brion, club members are providing their talents and expertise to bring the plan to reality. The Rip Track provided the materials for the layout construction. Other than basic lumber, all train related materials are off-the-shelf products. Construction started on September 5, 2002 and we achieved our goal of having trains running by Thanksgiving.

	This is the track plan as drawn by Brion. The plan calls for a wide variety of scenery and construction methods. Visitors were able to see many different aspects of model railroading. The plan provides for the ability to convert the layout from HO scale to On3 by changing structures and rolling stock.




	On Saturday, September 14th, we added the cork roadbed, using white glue and staples. This is the right lobe showing the spur leading to the engine facilities and the mainline with the passing siding in the background.
