Loveably weird
I got the benchwork for the north blob completed, I'll install it later.
The blue 1 x 3 is just sitting there, it's not fastened to the benchwork.
It wasn't until after I had finished this that I realized that the benchwork extends 3-1/2" too far out from the back wall.
The pencil mark on this girder is roughly in line (in the pic) with the line on the floor that marks how far out the door swings when it is opened.
I know some will say "Well, just don't open the door all the way and you won't hit the benchwork."
Sooner or later, the door would clobber the benchwork! I can either cut 3-1/2" from the end of the girders, or cut 3-1/2" from the end of the joists on the back wall. Since there will be a yard, a raised track running over a bridge, and an interchange track back there I'll probably just trim the end of the girder on the front. I'll be the sole operator, so losing 3-1/2" from the open area in the center of the layout won't be a big deal. I think I know where I made my mathematical boo-boo. Oh well. Ya lives, ya learns!
