It's a while since I did any work on the boards, so with the temporary lull in work on the shed buildings I decided to spend some time on the boards.

The last work was cutting the styrofoam to produce the incline base on the boards north of Barrow Road road bridge. It is at this point that that incline begins at 1 in 89 rising to 1 in 60 up the bank to Fishponds Station.

The styrofoam has been cut and fixed to the boards. Note the position for the North Exit from/to the shed where the trackwork will drop down to the coal plant - the trackwork in the shed yard being at a lower level than the main line which is to the left.

Progress over the past week has been adding 5mm C&L foam underlay after making various cut outs in the boards to position tortoise point motors.

I have added a 2.5mm layer of cork to the main line in order to give a raised based for the stone ballast.
