Delph based P4 layout - The story continues

Hope this works - continuing the story of my layout and workbench. On the old RMweb thread (which I no longer appear to be able to access), I had posted regarding the setback experienced when the paper track plan which I had stuck to the cork underlay and on which I had intended to lay the track, wringled up very badly with the recent damp weather. The following photos show the trial fitting of the station throat pointwork on the track plan.

Fortunately, the wrinkled paper came away quite well and did not damage the surface of the underlay, although it did reveal a few areas where the cork was not well adhered to the base-board top. Following removal, I have had to mark the track position directly on the cork and this stage is shown below.

I had a similar problem on my last layout.

A solution which I was recommended was to glue the templates down with Superglue, as that will prevent them from wrinkling up even if they do get damp again.

 

Looks like an interesting layout, look forward to seeing more!

Hi..

 

What you need is spray glue, you get it at your local craft shop. Just roll it down and you should be right.
