I had a good session yesterday afternoon. For the last couple of weeks is been a bit hot in the loft - bearable due to the insulation but still a bit hot but yesterday it was back to normal room temperature. 

With the re-wiring now substantially complete I decided to get the layout horizontal so I could easily take stock of all the knocks it has taken over the last couple of years after being moved around several times. I didn't want it in place yet as I wanted to build a 'plank' narrow baseboard to be attached to the rear (no construction access at the rear so layout is pivoted around at 90 degrees) to form the start of the upper deck analog circuit. A lot of sawing, screwing and gluing (using 9mm ply for baseboard top and bits of softwood for the frame) followed in the garage with me using rough joints so the frame would lock together. Feeling satisfied with what I had created it was back up to the loft and I used some brackets that I bought many years ago (for 14p each) to attach them to the back of the existing 150mm high back scene. I know these brackets will hold because they were holding up a similar plank with a heavy tunnel ontop for many years on an earlier layout. Fitted 4 of them to the back and luckily I have buildings to mask the screw indentations that slightly stuck out of the Mdf on the other side of the backscene. 

Was thinking of using some cork but abandoned the idea but might go back to it to give some rail height and deaden sound, started sorting out some track and then...... dinner time. So I haven't any photos as there was a bit of a rapid exit out of the loft as I hadn't realised it had got so late (3pm swiftly became 6.30pm how did that happen?). My next task will be to install my wall clock up there....
