Having been on Holiday last week with the family, as is always the case when board on the beach my mind wandered to what could I do if I was in the shed. Some time ago I started the G scale micro layout to let mea) do some finer 1:24 detailing than would be normal in the garden.B) give me a chance to run the G stuff even when it was cold and wet.The later of the 2 reasons never really worked out as due to an oversight I built it in 2 halves adding up to 8', as everyone knows an 8' shed is 8' outside not inside, even when empty !!!! So I was stuck with working on it in 2 halves only getting it out when it was sunny which kind of defeated the point.So I determined that when I got home I would sort this out....Today was the day.......
Step 1 get out some delicate tools
Which was used to shorten the G module right end by 10"Step 2 break out the self leveling lazer
Unfortunately the lazer doesn't do the cutting ! just shows where to go with the dremel !
Then a bit of pulling and scrapping to leave .
.
Which means the G module now sits along the wall in one piece
The fork truck I ordered arrived this morning too, which obscures the internal warehouse picture nicely
And with both parts together give better photo opportunities
The observant will notice the G layout is sitting up off the bench by 3 inches, thats so the new N can sit under it, well the unseen reversing loop anyway.
and across the viaduct
And onto the left hand bench which I haven't decided the track plan for yet.
So all in all a productive day
