All fully insulated now. Baseboard height will be level with the bottom of the windows. I will be putting 38x38mm timber around the walls at that level to support the cross beams and also the power. The layout will for the most part be 24" wide, easy enough to reach over and leaving me a good sized piece of free space for other projects in the middle. Not sure about a duck-under or lift out by the door, but most likely it will be a lift out section to allow better access.

Scenic side of the layout will be away from the windows which are on the north side of shed.

Tapings not too straight, is it. :oops: :oops:

Since my last post I have been on earlies, which means I can't get much done in the evenings until the power is connected. All the sockets, 10, are in now, as is the lighting. All circuits have been checked by my neighbour, a qualified electrician. All that's left now is to connect it up to the house supply. But that can wait for a bit. Next week is lates, so I can spend 3-4 hours out there before work.

The first boards are up. The fiddle yard, station and other areas where the railway is going to be in a cutting, are on flat top boards using 9mm ply. This will be covered with cork tiles, And yes I do know where I can get enough. I will be using open frame for the areas with embankments and maybe a viaduct. I wish to include a canal with possibly a lock.

Here's a few progress shots.

Placed a few building around to get the feel of what I am trying to achieve. The shops will be on a slope with a bridge over the end of the station in the gap, with just a fence on this side of the roadway. The station approach will come from in front of the lefthand building. I'll go away and draw up a plan of what it will look like.Since my last post I have been on earlies, which means I can't get much done in the evenings until the power is connected.
