Hi

Since the last blog post I have made a cover to protect the scenic section, both in transit and when work is being carried out on the electrics etc. on the underside of the layout.

I have also installed a over-centre catch to keep the two half’s in position when the layout is being carried and being packed ready for transport.

I have also built some stubby feet, this is to allow the layout, in operation mode to be placed on a table, say the kitchen table, which allows the layout to be worked on, without needing the full legs to be installed. These legs have felt pads on the legs to prevent damage to the table top.

These feet also means that the layout parts sit, in them same relationship to each other as when on the floor mounted feet. Where the layout board was cut into two, they don't sit properly when directly placed on a flat surface of a table or my workmate. This allows the track to be properly fettled!

The ability to fold the layout also has made storage, at home, much easier as it can now fit onto the available shelves.

I will really be progressing the scenery soon!
