This has been a joint process, me, my sons Mark (Mad6Gun) and Chris (Psychotic Bovine).
I got a real buy on this cocktail table. It's 30 inches x 52 inches with two drawers and tempered glass top. Finish is very nice cherry. Scratch and dent (took care of both) and cost of $237.00. Seems very well made and weighs 120 pounds. This size let me use a larger radius track for my Norfolk and Southern locomotive. Mark did the under the plywood wiring, Chris has built two of my structures so far and I've gone nuts building two more.( basement window on one of the houses is only 1/16" x 1/2 inch, including gluing the glass!).
Hobbyist in N scale go nuts on detail, i won't. This is a standoff scale, no track ballast, no nice to look at grass, no hand built tracks, no actual color sidewalks, no curbs, no manhole covers in streets, no nuttin'
I am not sweating the details, especially since doing all this in my apartment, no workshop. If I get tired of looking at it, i can slide the whole kit and kaboodle out since it's mounted on Baltic birch plywood (which warped, damn it) and I'll have a regular no holes drillied, no scratches, cocktail table.
It's been taking up my time since it's 25 degrees here, snowing, and 30mph wind: The Vstrom will have to wait.
I used a polarizer filter on the camera to get rid of the glare of the glass, you are looking through the glass .
