Another day shower dodging.

 

Baseboards connected, train turntable cut out, front scenic boards knocked together and the boards corked.

I've not decided yet whether the water (front middle board) will be done as before with paint/PVA/varnish layers on the flat ply top or to invert the board and create some depth to the water within the well. I'll try a couple of ideas and see where it heads.

 

 

When it's all locked together it's reasonably stable; I did manage to disassemble and get it back indoors inside 5 minutes as another shower headed our way.

I hope a child doesn't trip and push against it, Andy - those thin legs look awfully flexy! May be worth gluing another strip of wood to each upright to form a T or L shape and cut the flex down. Google Everbuild Lumberjack 30 minute polyurethane wood glue. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES WHEN USING, AND DO IT SOMEWHERE WHERE A COUPLE OF DRIPS WONT HURT!!!

It's a lot sturdier than it looks Jack thanks to leg sections at 90 degrees and the rigidity when all boards are together.

 

Plus I'll opt for using barriers with this version which I hadn't before with K1yhaven as some of the operation will be done from the front. It'll definitely be a 2 person job to keep the activity up.

Yes, my Harlem Station is a walk-round operation too - not sure at the moment how I'm going to keep people back!
