Hi just wondering what most Members Phase of Railroad construction you are in [:)] for me its benchwork Tim
this should be interesting!!! I’m in the scenery stage, more like scenery detailing, but I want to make a whole new layout!! can’t at the moment, have to wait and get some work… How often are you at your benchwork? dd
I have an area about 9x17 with a design close to completion that I hope to begin building within a month or so (assuming the Great Budget Gods can be appeased).
I basically always am with scenery, in that is what I like. But some of the bench work has to be finished and some track needs to be laid, if I ever get it designed. Nothing every gets finished. Everytime I really like something, you guys show me something better and off I go.
I too am at the scenery stage. I have a couple of spurs to install but otherwise, all the track is laid. Now its on to buildings and scenery. Most all of the wiring is done also. I may put in one more block to allow a train to run while I am switching.

I didn’t vote cause I would say my pike is in the “all of the above” stage. Everything is going on somewhere on the layout. [:D]
Scenery, mostly. I’ve still got one or two little things to iron out in the track work. I’m still at the most basic phases of scenery. I haven’t ballested yet, but I fully expect that to require more time on the track work, to fix things were working rightm before.
I’m with ‘Howmus’ I’ve got a 2’x8’ section almost all complete(bench,track,scenery) next I will be laying my main line out untill I get to the point were I need to fini***he bench work.
I like working on different things at different times.

Same here! Always something is’nt it?
trackwork for me now. ive made lots more progress than i ever dreamed could happen but now come track. im excited but also somewhat intimidated but im going to wade on in 
great poll btw. john
A, B, C, and D. I just decided to go with a point to point layout so I am designing the yards that will be my staging. I am building it in sections so there is still a lot of benchwork to build and track to lay. My first section is getting its scenery put on now.
I have one that is about 90% complete but I have been given the extra bedroom in my home, by my wife of course!! So I am still in the planning stages, I really don’t have a track plan on paper yet but I have an idea. There is alot to buy and all the work to do, I have managed however to buy tons of rolling stock and triple my Locomotive roster in the past 3 months!! That was the easy part, now it’s time to get down to business.
LOCO Its Shema! heyy i voted track work because as you know i am builinf mine lol tty in school!!! AOIIT!!!
Umm…all of the above?
I have a layout that has some great, new scenery, some 10 year old crap that could have collapsed if we put a peice of ground foam on it. Then there is the track…there are a couple places we ahve to get the deralment demons out of…also I am starting an N scale layout, in a coffee table, that is in the benchwork/track phase, I bought fleaxtrack today, and I will put down the subroadbed soon. Scenery will never be done as long as there are long reaches on my layout…

Heh, no one has a completed layout…
My “layout” is complete,but it is only 4’ by 2’. It consists of two parellel “main” tracks with a crossover and a siding.I have no complete loop. My second layout is still in the dream stage[:(].
I voted for tracking laying but it its more like design because I keep changing the plan. Today i put down a new yard an engin service area. i think it works better then the last plan.
Im just getting back into the hobby after being disabled and retired from the USAF. Gonna get my feet wet so to speak with a small N scale setup on a hollow door with foam on top. Playing around with XtrckCad right now deciding on an interesting track plan for limited space.
I said design because i am designing a layout I am serious about, however I am at the scenery stage of a 4x8
I’m in the planning and design stage, but I am building my layout’s “home” first (easier to keep it all dry). I’m building an 8x20’ trailer to resemble a caboose. I’m planning a folded dogbone setup that will allow continuous running, but will have it run uphill and through or around hills and mountains so as to have just one main track in any one scene. I’m thinking of having the tracks wind in and out so I don’t have too long of a hidden line on any one section. I may have a branchline for some operations.
