Re: Teardown at The Railyard

[Scott A Smiley <sc.smiley@juno.com>]

I got another hour of work on the trailer today.  Went kind of slow by
myself though.  

The trailer is now at the Railyard.  

Either we need to take a board to a drill press or drill press to the
Railyard or at least one of the gizmos that helps you drill vertical
holes.  It is all cut and marked.

I Figured out the corner spacers and the switch module spacers and made
them so they just need to be mounted.  

Also need to make the jig for the module drilling.

The additional wood is in the trailer.

Need support for the 1' modules . 2x2 on top of the shelf with hole
driller appropriately
Still need a place for the trolley modules with bumpers.
I am thinking about a small hand truck to carry the Plexiglass
Add a second shelf to the 4' side.


I probably can make the 30th.
