Benchwork for the 3 x 7-foot N scale Red Oak layout didn’t need to be bulletproof, but it did need to be sturdy enough for us to move about the MR workshop and transport to shows. In this video, MRVP’s David Popp shows you how he assembled the lightweight legs, frame, and hollow-core door tabletop to suit this specification. As a bonus, MRVP subscribers can download a PDF of the exact benchwork specifications by clicking on the link below. Of course, you can always adapt David’s design to fit your own N, HO, S, or even O scale layout plan.
