Highball for tracklaying
In the foreground is the Fresnel city area; behind it is the CNE yard. Minimum mainline radius was a relatively broad 18 inches, while maximum mainline grade was a gentle 1%, anywhere on the layout. Like the benchwork, subroadbed construction followed "best practice" of cookie-cutter plywood erected on risers and cleats. But that's where I stopped following SOP; the track is laid using double-sided foam tape. The March 1992 issue of Model Railroader has the details on how it was done.
Image specs: This is a scan of a 4x6 color print taken with a 35mm camera of unknown type. The negative is long gone.
