David works Rene and Sammi into the layout construction rotation. To start, David puts finishing touches on the subroadbed. He steps aside to let Rene and Sammi install the strips of cork roadbed that form the base for the N scale trackwork. Plus, you’ll see a preview of some structures to come!

You and the crew make this look so easy – maybe it is and I just have to get at it! I like all your elevations and looking forward to seeing the scenery and wiring.
Great series. Episode 6 is locked for some reason.
Looking good! Project layouts are one of the most fun things to watch as they progress.
I probably missed this somewhere, but are you using Deckmate screws for this project? If so, excellent choice. Much better choice than standard Philips head screws.
Just curious. Is there a reason for using glue-all to secure the roadbed rather than adhesive caulk? Or, was it just convenient? It seems that for a number of years that adhesive caulk was the preferred method.
Nicely done and clearly explains the subtleties of preparing the layout for track laying.
Sure can’t wait to see the finished product, David, and I know I can’t wait to read it in Model Railroader
