Further to the last missive; a little work today, dancing between other things, on a quick baseboard build for the new short FY for the home running of Rhiw. A ferret around in the huge pile of old baseboards and MDF off-cuts in the garage turned up enough for a 12″ x 38.75″ board. It didn’t need to be up to exhibition robustness so, at least for the time being, I did without pins and corner blocks, relying on glued joints only. <\/span><\/div>\n

Determined not to cut any new sheet, I could only generate one full length side piece, so a bodge with a short infill piece and a brace. As is standard, the height of these is 3″ to match the layout.<\/span><\/p>\n

In place with bolt holes drilled and some track dumped on it. The clearance is tight at the back, as it is with the exhibition FY, just need a bit more code 100 to finish it off. The next stage maybe to face it with some hardboard front and back with a small lip to keep things off the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rear two roads will cope with a two car DMU, the front of the three will hold a loco and two coaches… just. There will also be a plain road at the very front for the second ‘off’. This is quite the departure as aside from building other people’s layouts, I’ve not had one of my own in a running state for quite a while. Dury’s Gap has a short temporary fiddle stick, but never ran at home with the exhibition yard. This a new world.<\/span><\/p>\n
