Andrew P Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I agree about small is good, but it is restrictive, My Fiddle Yards are just over 42 inches, and it will just take a 37 and two OAA / VAA etc. The extra width should help with the Parcels Siding, will you be getting a nice Red Royal Mail Parcels Railcar mate?

Barnaby Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Very tasty indeed George, it's an art form and beautiful work. When I'm building the layout I have every tool I've collected over the last 55 years out on top of my board. The layout has become a shelf, a table, somewhere to place my food and drinks and all my part builds, somewhere to scribble notes, bit of a nightmare really while your build looks clean and white.

Best Thanks for the thumbs up Barnaby, l thought the white foam board would help in keeping every thing nice, smooth and quiet, it seems to be working so far everything has been stuck down with PVA or superglue.
