Station Platform

Materials 1/2"x36"x48" plywood; 3/4"x36"x60" plywood; 3/8"x3/8"x16" pine quarter-round molding; 1 1/4 sheets (each 4'x8') of plastic laminate (see General Directions at start of project).

Cut 3/4" plywood to 36"x60" (if using large sheet) for platform and 1/2" plywood to shape shown in diagram for base. Laminate base entirely and only that portion of the platform that is not covered by the base. Carry the laminate under the edges of the base and cement scrap pieces of laminate under the base so that it is level.

Attach base to platform with screws through the underside. If you are bulding the Conveyor-belt Bridge, paint quarter round white and attach after Bridge is finished. If building Monorail, attach Tower Base as indicated in Monorail instructions.
