When you are building and detailing a relatvely small area to high detail I like using the foam. As soon as I'm covering a large area I really like to use cardboard strips stapled in place covered with newspaper, red rosin paper, or a cut up pieces of an old bed sheet soaked in 100% strength white glue.

Are the right-hand & left-hand corners within 36" reach limit? I noticed you placed the layout against the two walls thus disabling you ability to reach from behind. Any access hatches needed? Reason I ask is that I am planning to do the SJC in Sn3. And in Sn3 I will have reach issues. -John I was wondering if you have any “reach” issues with this layout.
