Dave Oppedisano discusses the transition from paper plans to plywood for his model railroad layout.

Starting over isn't easy, but it can be an opportunity. Dave Oppedisano returns to Around The Layout Podcast with an update on the second version of the BNSF Lakeside Sub, now located in the shop adjacent to his new home just outside of Fort Worth, Texas. Dave walks us through how he's taking the paper plans for his layout and translating it to the plywood of his benchwork, and how he's handling on the fly changes in the process. Later, Dave and Ray hear answers to the Question of the Month submitted by our listeners.
