Layout Update Mondays: Cork

Working on the cork for the Tribute to Springfield layout.
After a bit of a delay, the cork finally arrived here at the workshop.  Over the last couple of days, I've been able to layout the track plan on the benchwork and glue down cork roadbed.  My preferred technique is to use carpenter's glue and tack the cork in place with finish nails.  Once the glue is dried, the finish nails are removed and all the roadbed is sanded smooth.

Below you can see how the layout is shaping up.  Now back to finishing installing rail anchors and then spiking down the track...

Looking at the future location of the Young Building.
