Some of us might say it's been long gone. Meanwhile I notice that I haven't posted here for over three months. Dead? Lunatic asylum? Not just yet...
A few bits and bobs have been progressed over summer. Most recently I've turned my attention to the lighting and initially the gantry:
The gantry is in five pieces to mirror the baseboards and is made in a similar manner. Two laths of 9mm ply are cut to the required diameter; the upper piece is around 4" deep, the lower one just 1". These are joined by three pieces of ply 5" deep and tapered to match the laths. Glued and screwed together, they are ready to take a facing of 4mm ply. Lighting units will reside on the underside of the upper lath:
Other recent activity includes ongoing landscaping of the bridge end. More grass, some fencing, trees and bushes. The layout will soon be dismantled and brought indoors for winter; I'll then continue detailing the boards one by one:
Lining out has also started on the D49. More on that anon...
