After the room renovation and the completion of the engine shed, I've now finished the frame construction on the newly created space. The track bed and rails are also mostly built, so train operations can finally resume.
In this video, I'll show you step-by-step how to build the frame, install the outer cladding with flexible plywood for rounded corners, construct the track bed, and lay the rails. There's even a bit of train operation included.
I've divided the video into chapters so you can quickly jump to the individual steps.
