I picked up the white Plexiglas for the new sidewalk in the station area on Friday. It has been on my mind for many months now. Today was as good of a day as any to rough it in. I had to do some minor trimming in 3 areas to make it fit. They are just flopped in place for now. I am working towards getting 4 feet of the Walthers Milwaukee train shed and some of the Walthers umbrella sheds installed. I have the train shed kits but still have to get the umbrella shed kits.
On the plus side the Plexiglas is long strips - just what I wanted. One sidewalk in 9 feet long - as 1 piece. The other is 11 feet long made from a 10 foot and 1 foot piece. The 1 things I did not consider is the Plexiglas is pretty hard plastic. The MicroMark cutter scribe I got to make seam lines in the Plexiglas is probably not going to do it easily or not at all. I have to rethink that part a bit. Cutting it to fit was the easiest part with my DeWalt 18v variable speed Saber saw. Most of the heavy lifting has yet to come in nicely scribing seam lines to represent concrete sidewalks/platforms, and then paint everything a concrete color. Still it was a good progress day. hopefully on Sunday I am swapping out 3 turnouts that have been a problem since the day they were installed.
