New Building

I purchased Bachmann's Locomotive Maintenance Building kit from Ebay a week or so ago. It arrived a few days ago. I opened the kit and examined it. The biggest drawback is that the kit does not have a floor. This should make assembling it a big more of a challenge. But is also good because it makes it easier to add or remove from a layout with track already laid.

Tonight I worked on constructing a styrene concrete pad to place the building on. The pad is the level with the top of the rails creating a flat surface. The biggest problem is supporting the styrene sheet. It is ok resting on top of the ties, but further out from the track, the cork road bed stops and there is a 6mm. gap between the bottom of the styrene and the foam ground. I am working on constructing edge supports to hold up the styrene up and make it appear as a block of poured concrete.
