Having gone down the route of adding the extra sections to Avonwick I have been intending to add an information board as a visual break between the old and the new layout. This has to happen because of the fixed nature of the backscene on the original Avonwick board. I have though about a few things that I want on this board, and some things that I don't.
I do want
- Information on the layout and reasons for it.
- Information on the Kingsbridge branch line.
- A map showing where this all is.
- Pictures.
- The layout name.
What I don't want
- Lots of words.
- To much information.
Given this I have come out with a rough plan for this info board.
The board will come start at floor level and reach up to just beyond the top of the facia of the Avonwick Board (about 6ft). The width is 2ft. These sizes are fixed as the board will double as a protective cover for the main layout board during transportation.
I'm not sure about the background colour or the layout of the information that I will put on the board. I am sure that I can't go much lower than I have already with the information shown on the plan. This would be too low.
All thoughts and and suggestions are welcome.
Extra info added 8/12/10
I've had some further thoughts about this and have quickly knocked up an example info sheet for a loco. How does this look?
