Staging Grade, Plattsburgh and staging deck paint!

More timber work completed!

The last few days have been very productive on the D&H.

I have now managed to complete the 1.7% grade from both North and South staging up to the main deck. So now all the staging timber work is now completed.

Once the grade was completed, I then painted the staging deck black so that once the track is laid it will have a nice dark finish to it and wont stand out through the portholes I plan on making in the fascia. I also roughly painted the backboards in the staging locations. This will be finished off once the main deck is installed using a touch up brush rather than the roller.

Once all this work was completed I set about screwing down the main deck at Plattsburgh and then cleaned up the edge along the isle way.

Now I can confidently say.. It is now time to lay some track in staging..!

Here are some progress pictures.
