Progress on the Nightmare boards

I see I claim to have started on these at the end of May. Outdoor weather has been less summer like than ever, and these are 100% outdoor work. I'm still day dreaming with little ideas, but have started the raised track bed. Also have made rough road under bridge formers out of 3 mm MDF, these will be used as a base for embossed plastic sheeting.

The supporting uprights will have 9 mm beading attached across the top each side as per the base, onto which the track bed will be screwed and glued.

Once I thought the track so high against the river surface it would distort scaling of the bridge. However with the road being 25 mm or so above the river it looks about right to my eye.

There are times when work is interupted by our little wild friend "Scruffy" who likes a digestive biscuit both morning and tea time !
