The folding legs form a complete square under the layout, so I decided to wrap them in a shipping crate.  The crate is built with four removable panels that are held to the legs with Velcro.  Once the benchwork is set up I can simply stick the panels to the legs.<\/p>\n<p>I cut some stencils and labeled the create for the Central New Jersey Bronx Terminal.  I also cut out a New Jersey Central logo from the era the Terminal was built.  The street address, No. 2 Eastern Boulevard is also stenciled onto the crate.<\/p>\n<p>When the top is complete it should look like the layout is sitting on top of a shipping crate.  Its a bit hard to visualize, so I poorly painted in the edge of the layout using Photoshop to get an idea of what it should look like.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Layout edge coloured in Photoshop to determine final look.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/290308lb.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"290308b.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/290308b.jpg\" border=\"2\" alt=\"290308b.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy with the results, now I will finish off the fascia of the layout with Masonite and paint it black.
