Plodding on

I managed to visit the Wyre Forest Model show at Worcester today to see Foundry Lane close-up, many thanks to Mark for being so welcoming and taking time to explain his construction to me when he was clearly very busy keeping trains moving for his audience. It was a treat to view close-up and inspired me to do some more baseboard construction when I got back. So in keeping with the principle of simplicity I fitted a brace/stretcher/end-piece/sector plate pivot board to the No.1 end. btw Only the upper piece of 2 x 1 (longest side horizontal) is attached, all the rest are packing pieces. How I wished I had a sash cramp.

I think I will add some form of end-plate to help keep everything square, I suspect it will just be a rectangle of scrap ply.

 

A small step, but at least it's another step towards completion.

 

btw Saw 'Unit Models' at the show today, not aware of them before, very interesting selection of resin detailing items, usual disclaimer, no connection with the business, just impressed with the display.
