Mikkel asked what was between the main part of the layout and the Viaduct sections. The simple answer is a gap. The boards need to move towards the window wall to give them enough room to swing round into the room to be worked on, so they stop short of the window wall by a foot or so.

I always had a vague idea that I would build a lightweight scenic extension to take the eye round towards the window. Well, I have finally got round to it. Its mainly made out of foamboard with the curved part from two layers of 1 mm card . The whole thing sits on a small strap on the main board and holds on with a couple of magnets. Weight is only a couple of pounds so it is easy to handle.

Scenically I think it will be heavily overgrown, a remnant of one of the many old estates to be found along the banks of the Kelvin before the expansion of the city in the nineteenth century. Must try and get rid of those bubbles in the sky as well.
