I had mentioned a few weeks ago that I’d post some photos of the new fascia<\/a> being installed on the layout.\u00a0 However, progress had come to an abrupt halt as available time to work on the fascia coincided with rain.\u00a0 I do all my cutting outside these days to avoid sawdust collecting in the train room.\u00a0 Yesterday however, the sun was out and Wayne came over for a short work session.\u00a0 We knocked out another section of the fascia, giving a total of about 22 installed feet now.\u00a0 We’ll put in one last eight foot length next weekend (weather permitting), and that will do it for a while.\u00a0 The balance of benchwork has track switches and plenty of under table work remaining.\u00a0 Fascia there would just be in the way.<\/p>\n

\"Fascia<\/a>
\nWhat a difference even this unpainted Masonite makes!\u00a0 I won’t be painting it for a while though, as I’d like to get some of the hole cutting (for panels and throttle plug-ins) done first.<\/p>\n

\"Fascia<\/a>
\nPanning left a bit from the previous view, the fascia extends up through Maynard.\u00a0 Those “panels” you see are just mock-ups for me to study.\u00a0 They’re merely photocopies taped to the fascia.\u00a0 I haven’t decided yet whether to recess the panels, or just surface mount them.\u00a0 Since I’m close to needing some now, I suppose I’d best make the decision soon.\u00a0 I’m also mulling over what color I’ll be using for the fascia.\u00a0 I’m leaning toward a dark greenish-grey, but nothing is off the table yet (except flat black).<\/p>\n
