The weather eased for a few days at the same time as I had booked some leave. I had hoped that the two would coincide and must have got lucky. As a result a lot has happened to the baseboards, but nothing picture-worthy. What I have done is organised a lot of items for the layout. I have had a couple of orders of baseboard fittings arrive. These are all now fixed so the boards lock and peg together when folded. When unfolded the feet are adjustable in height. After a large amount of corrections and re-thinks to fit everything in the 150mm of space between the folded boards there are just a few of items to sort:

1. Stays for the legs on the outer scenic boards;

2. Pins for locking the additional hinge in the fiddle yard legs;

3. Castors for ease of transportation, although these aren't urgent until things get heavier.

As a result of the large amount of corrections to get to this stage has taken far longer than envisgaed and I still haven't got track to baseboard. This will happen soon. The turnout operating mechanisms and electromagnets need to fitted next, along with the switches to operate them all. I need about another half a day of decent weather to router the electromagnet locations in the underside of the trackbed before it can be fixed permanently. Track laying can then commence.
