There is a slightly different headspace with Drovers Brook that other recent efforts in that not being an exhibition beast it doesn’t need acres of backscene height to create a box for travelling. To that end I need to work out just how low I could get away with. There are\/were two factors in play: the undecided bridge\/exit height and the buildings on the platform. I could have worked this out, but sometimes a physical thing is better allowing it to ‘sit’ and be viewed for a while. I concluded that the platform needed to go in first before anything else happened.<\/span><\/div>\n
I will probably repeat this again, but the overriding thrust of this project was to factor in a lot of left-over bits and pieces that ‘might come in useful’. To this end I have again used the Peco Setrack platform fronts as there were just enough scraps from Hopwood and Rhiw 2. These were trimmed by about 3mm to lose the over-height feature which is a simple run with a saw. The internal bracing is all the other bits from the kits cut to size and with the addition of more plastic sheet which is again left-over material, this time N gauge brick sheet remaining from Half Acre. For the top I splashed out \u00a33.98 for a couple of sheets of 40thou. This is thus far the only cost involved.<\/span><\/div>\n
