Building A Model Railroad--Screw vs Glue, Plan Changes, Q&A (374)

Today I decided to do a short video to cover some plan changes, as well as answer some questions that came up when I built the modules 4 years ago. This will allow me to keep Friday's video a bit shorter. As I said in the video I have added a material list for the lumber used to build each module to this description,Let me know if you see any omissions or mistakes.

Materials for each module

2 - 1”x4”x48” Sides
3 - 1”x4”x22 ½” Ends and mid support
4 - 1”x3” x22 ½” Leg spreaders
4 - 2”x2”x42 1/2” Legs
4 - 1”x2” x24” Leg angle support, cut one end 45 degrees
4 - 2”x2”x3 ½” Angle support offset
1 – 2’x4’x1/2” Plywood top
1 - 2’x4’x1/2” Foam insulation sheet
2 - 1”x3” x29”Shelf support, cut one end 45 degrees*
1 - 1”x6”x48” Shelf*
4 - 2”x2”x6” Wheel supports*
4 – Wheels*
1 – Box #6x1 5/8” screws
8 - #8x2” screws for legs

*Optional

The wheels are 2 inch Casters Load 800lbs, Set of 4 with Brake from the Abslimus store on Amazon. These fit the bottoms of the leg spreaders and wheel supports as shown in the upcoming video so watch that closely for tips on installing them. They are optional as you can use screw levelers or nothing at all.
