Laying Track on a Model Railroad

In this video I demonstrate laying track on a model railroad. Let me show you how I laid mainline track, including several turnouts, on part of the expansion to my layout. I will show you how I installed the roadbed, prepared some advance assemblies of turnouts at the workbench, and then installed all of the track and ran the first test train.
