If this looks like deja vu all over again - it is... I posted this in another thread concerning trackplan. It's an early 1st draft in N scale - revisions are underway. The general configuration is pretty much a given; the "duckunder" in the SW will probably be a swing gate, lift-up or drop-down. My question(s) now are more about benchwork. The layout base will be 2" extruded foam. Most of the along-the-wall sections are relatively narrow; I could support them with shelf brackets. The wider portions and the peninsula will require something else; I'm leaning towards open-grid. Although I pretty much detest building benchwork; it's within my skill set. How could I do the transition from the shelf sections to those that are grid - or should I just bite the bullet and grid-frame the whole thing? Is this making any sense at all?
On the grid portions of your benchwork mount additional 2x4s on the edges that will serve as the end supports for sections that are on shelf brackets to join where the shelves meet the grids.
