I have rounded the corner

I have brought, my highly transportable layout with me, when I travelled to Scotland to stay with family at Christmas.

 

Look up into the sky, and you see wide open spaces. The plywood backscene support has corners, something the sky does not have. I have use a layer of 2mm thick card to remove the corners from the front surface of the backscene support.

The actual backscene will be a think sheet of card, thin enough to be rolled up and held in a tube to protect it for transport. This will also allow the backscene to be higher than the backscene support. The height of the latter is determined because the layout has to fit into the case for ease of transport.

There will therefore be a small gap between the backscene support and the scenery. The backscene support will be painted to seal it, against ingress of moisture and thus make it more able to withstand wear. The colour will be light blue.

Now you have moved the platform to the opposite side of the track, away from the goods yard. It should be possible to move the siding towards the running line, to make more room in the goods yard.

 

Are you going to have a goods shed?

Yes I'm going to have a small goods shed.

 

If I move the siding over, like Lisa suggests, then I can have a space behind it, for vehicles to pass. The goods yard fence can be modelled along it's length in 3D.

 

I'm glad that I decided to move the station platform.
