Hi

From now on the entry title will be Le Focq, not La Rocque, because I am now modelling Le Focq station. The blog name will still be La Rocque.

As you can see from the photograph below, there is indeed no corners in my sky. The back scene support is now in place. On to which a photographic back scene will be attached.

The tabs at the top of the back scene support, are to ensure that when the glue sets a gap will exist of 0.5 mm to allow the insertion of the sky extension to be inserted.

Spacers have been placed to keep the support about 0.5 mm from the inside of the scenic board box sides, see photograph below.

Once the photographic scene has been attached, the support will be trimmed along the bottom of the open sky. Then a sky coloured extension can be slotted into the gap. This will mean that a viewer looking through the aperture, will not be able to see the layout operator.

The box in the corner is to house the point motor, and will be hidden by a stone barn, which has been moved, about 60 meters, from it's position in the prototype, into it's position on the model.
