Planning with Track Templates

Benchwork made of plywood and lumber with paper track template pieces outlining a railroad track design

Once my base table was completed, I re-applied the Atlas track templates back onto the table so I had a good approximation of how my final track was going to fit.

I then cut my side and back scenery walls to a size and shape that seemed appropriate for what I was trying to accomplish. At this point I still am not exactly sure what I am going to use for a backdrop, however I left plenty of surface area if required later. I then simply screwed the pieces onto the sides of my bench, using metal braces where the panels joined together.

After the side and back panels were attached, I used the track templates to plan the different elevations that were going to be required for the layout. I visualized the different elevations I wanted and marked them out directly onto the table. These sections will later be cut out on a separate piece of plywood and attached with risers to their required heights.
