Phase II - Benchwork Ordered

I have been on the fence about ordering the benchwork for Phase II for a while now, mostly because of cost. Four 90-degree curved corner sections, and 4 legs, cost about $770. And that doesn't count shipping. It's a lot, though the quality of the benchwork is wonderful and the hard work is done. I knew I was going to have to pay it eventually, but yesterday I was randomly looking through the Springfield Train Show's website and saw that Model Railroad Benchwork was not only going to be there (their first year) but also offered free shipping to the show. That would save me another $160. So, I pulled the trigger.

Trying to manage the logistics of picking it up and storing it in our coach bus, all the while keeping on eye on Harrison who is going to the show for the first time, will be interesting! Stay tuned.
