What goes up must come down

Late the night of December 14, with help from my 8 year old daughter, the loop area of staging was transformed to look like this:



I didn't take apart the whole of the staging area, yet. First the existing 1x2 grid benchwork was fine as it is. Second I left intact the part of the staging that was not in the way of where I would be working, just in case. As it turned out this was a good thing, as I found that the height of the middle tier piers was extremely helpful in setting up the climbing grade for the top tier entry track.

Most of the materials were reusable. Track and wire, except for extra bits of wire length, all reusable. Wooden piers were reused, some after sawing off a bit of length, except for those that had splits. The 1/2" plywood subroadbed can be reused but of course it was cut to match the previous track layout, so large parts will be tossed as wastage. The same with the subroadbed.
