    I'd like to show my progress of the last few weeks since I started to build John Armstrongs "Granite Gorge and Northern".
    I' m a slow builder, I don't have much time for modelrailroading, but intend to post progress if it is made.
    The trackplan is 7' 6" by 3' 10" and scale is N.
    First the slightly modified trackplan:

    Now a few pics of the cookie cutter thing:

    That is all for now.
    I am building this board in an old unheated shed and hope to move the board in the trainroom in the house within a few weeks( first I have to make room for the board).

    Cool! I always liked that layout plan, but never did attempt to build it.
    Keep up the good work!

    Hi Paul... I like that cookie cutter idea. It gives a smooth rise to the grade.

    Looking great Paul! Excellent glued and screwed benchwork there. You should have no problem with track roadbed!
