    Track plan being printed

    I went in and told the program to "show" page numbers. My goal was to identify each piece of track in a numerical sequence, and then made sure that each page that piece of track was on it was identified by its number. So to achieve this, I had the "show text" box checked for when I printed...

    I will be adding a fascia along the outside of my framework to cover up the imperfections of my build.

    Benchwork done. Now what??
