Board meeting

Back again!!

 

as mentioned in the first blog, i'll upload some images of the board in progress! so here they are...

 

the reason for the cladding is purely decorative, it'll go around the front 3 sides, (the front isnt added yet - i work nights so by the time im awake im sure my neighbours wouldnt appreciate powersaws working!) then comes the wooded edging, and a roof! (tiled with foamboard tiles with gwr awning on the front with the station name fixed to it - if anyone knows where i can get one made id be very happy! - needs to be older gwr style not the br hotdog!) all of this will be painted in true gwr colours, probably the only prototypical thing that will happen! there will also be doors on the front, made from the area cut out from the front board, on hinges and lockable to protect it all!

 

lighting will be provided by 2 sectional 6ft long led strips (reptile lighting), one for daytime, one for night. both on a dimmer just to set the mood! (i'll book a candlelight table on the platform for the lady....who says we dont go out enough eh?! haha)

 

im thinking i might replace the legs for screwable legs, much akin to ones on a breakfast bar etc, if i can get some long enough.

 

the reason for the mass of sawdust around the back is due to the holes ive made for the wiring to go into the switchboard, which will control the pointwork, gates, scale lighting, overhead lighting, dcc supply etc etc basically everything in a box, sure thats never been done a million times so far! but not by me so its special :D wooo!

 

in my mind im gonna make this a layout to be proud of, just depends if my abilities live up to my minds expectations!

 

so thats that, wont post another blog today i promise :D

 

ta ta!
