He, it must be a he, I cannot see a woman behaving in that manor, is a Jobsworth!

I do like the idea of running your train on a train!  You must have been with a grumpy lot of passengers - I'd have thought most people would be fascinated.

What's the diameter of your baseboard? (sorry if you've mentioned it somewhere, but I haven't spotted it) 

Perhaps you could make the curtain above the backscene double as a carrier bag, so that wiring wouldn't be exposed in transport?

The diameter is 780mm and the track radius is about 700mm radius average. In the work that I am carrying out to make it more easily transportable, I have made a disturbing discovery!

When I made the original baseboard, before I added the fascia I bent the MDF by placing in the bath for about 30 minutes. When I bent the fascia I simply wetted the surface with a brush. I added a small quantity of washing up liquid to the water in both cases.

The original frame I have discovered is not as structurally sound as I expected, and I would definitely recommend to other's not to totally immerse the MDF before bending it.

The layout fitted very well on the table in 1st class, I don't use 1st regularly, but in this instance the tables are larger and each has two 13A sockets. I had a standard class ticket and a weekend first upgrade.

I think that the woman who objected had paid the full 1st class fare, and on this train there was not enough 1st accommodation to keeps upgrades totally separate from the others.
 

The steward was very interested, as he told me Manchester Model Railway club. Her objection apart from sharing the carriage with one of the plebs, was the noise of the locomotive.

The guard was simply attempting to keep the peace, but she insisted he phone his manager, he joined at the next stop, and it was him that was the 'Jobsworth'.

PS you cannot please everyone can you!
