A while back the home made baseboards for my first attempt at building Roding Reach were looking less likely to deliver what I wanted - a sturdy and portable layout. Possibly with exhibition in mind.

With input from SWMBO and other voices of reason on RMWeb I upgraded the baseboards with two kits from Model Railway Solutions.

These kits were topped off with MDF and the original viaduct repositioned. I've now added a back scene and sector table. There's still two small pieces of woodwork to do that will join the turn around sections of track with the sector table. { Yep, and put a curve onto each end of the sector table! }

Anyway, here's some photos of how it is coming together. Sorry no photos of trains etc quite yet. Hopefully there will be some time between now and Christmas to make some more progress.

The observant among you will notice one flaw in my plan which means a slot will need to be cut in the back scene to allow the raised trackbed on the fiddle yard board to fold over compactly. Apart from that things have worked out well for this "daddy & daughter" project.
