First Run!

It took about 8 hours of cutting, forming, assembling and painting before I could fasten the track. For paint I used rustoleoum's flt black for plastic to adhere to the PVC.

I should have noticed that most people who use the ladder roadbed utilize flex track. I had an inventory of sectional aristocraft stainless steel which worked out just fine. The jig to form the curve sections was very close to the final profile of the 8 foot diameter curves. In the end, I screwed the track every few feet with small pan head screws. The roadbed is extremely level with almost a 0% grade. The train was running for about 6 hours with no derailments or problems.

Now on to landscaping!
