New raised base for lower yard
This is the base for my lower (Westbound) staging yard before I re-installed the tracks. I constructed the base from 2 inch (50 mm) Expanded Polystyrene Foam sheets and 2 inch Risers from Woodland Scenic's SubTerrain system. I cut 1/2" holes for the track power cables and control cables for the yard switches. The wires were fairly skinny, but the electrical connectors were big enough to require 1/2" (13 mm) holes. Visible portions of the WB yard are painted tan, and the hidden portions are painted dark green.
