Aok, but the new modules need the smooth side Velcro? Right?

Cool, thank you. Please keep in mind that the skirts she is making now
will be for the "old" 6x11 small layout.
The skirts you got made for use last year were sized for the 12x15 L that
we are currently building.

I miss-spoke regarding the legs in my last email. I meant to say that
yesterday I had cut and assembled an additional 12 legs. I will be @ Rob
Johnson's tomorrow evening to chamfer all 29 legs. The 12 extra legs cost
~$110.
Wood blocks have been glued on all 7 modules for mounting the terminal
strips. Today terminal strips have been mounted on 3 of 7 modules. In
addition, the bus wiring and track power feeders are wired on those 3. I'll
be continuing with the wiring early tomorrow morning. The rain has me
shut-down for now.
My goal is to have all modules pre-wired and standing on legs prior to the
next meeting.
After the meeting, and working together I sincerely think we can lay the
track in 2-3 hours (tops). I'm 99.9% sure we have all the track pieces we
need. If need be, I can run home and raid my stash if necessary.
Items that are "Still to buy":
(12) 2 1/2" C clamps (reduced from my initial estimate)
Plastic toolbox to store the clamps
Extension cord w/reel
(8) 1x4x6' each cut in half to make 16 Plexiglas barriers (we already have
the cut Plexiglas)
Velco for mounting skirts (we already have the skirts, thank you Kevin)
Scenery: Foam ground cover, streets, glue, ballast
At our last meeting we discussed Menards buildings for this layout. None
have been purchased yet. If you want to look at Menards buildings, click

Lets us know what you would like to see on this layout.
I am looking forward to our next meeting. We are closing in on the
original $2K budget.
Right now the buildings that are "set" are:
Ashland Train Station w/ passenger platform
MTH Grainery
Single stall engine shed
Coal loading station
Operating Lionel flip-sign
