David has cleared the deck and marked his track configuration on the plywood, so he’s ready to cut things to pieces! No fears! In this video, he’ll show you how to make accurate measurements, so you can make equally precise cuts. Once those cut parts are assembled, David also shares how to install the styrene backdrop, complete with a tunnel routing through it. And if that’s not enough, you’ll get to see how his previously built laser-cut turntable fits into the mix of his O scale (1:48) Olympia Logging Co. On30 layout.

Follow along to see all of the useful tips, tricks, and insights our host has to share. And be sure to explore this model railroad’s initial path to resurgence upon landing in David’s basement!
