Indomitable026 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 So this is the board top as it stands. To be honest I thought there was more information than this - all that’s drawn on the board are the two points and the rails for the sidings. I’ve placed Exactoscale sleepers to get a feeling for the track layout. There must be a paper plan somewhere. What a disconnect two years inactivity gives you - inefficient as I’ll end up re-visiting things I’ve already done no doubt. 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 And now in position. The plan has holes pocked through it at the corner of the buildings which is the way I usually transfer things on to a baseboard, however I can find no holes in the board! 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you've got the right baseboard, it's not the new fiddle yard for Backscuttle Blues is it? Mike. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 I’ve transposed the plan on to the boards, on the right the wash out bay (with the pit) and on the left the repair shop. I’m debating whether to put small amounts of track in front of the repair shop. I’m not sure what this corner is going to look like. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 The corner seen from the front with the board end put back in place. The end of the building is fixed and can’t move - it hides the vertical support at the back of the layout - so there’s no wriggle room in this space really. I could continue the building and extend it right to end of the board, but I feel in doing this I lose the definition of the building.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 The thinking is that something like a loco or snowplough could be parked here to distract the eye... And if I laid the track right in the shed it could be used as hidden storage - but would it get used? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted November 28, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I've got a pic (posted elsewhere, blowed if I know where though, hope it wasn't on here!) of the Inverness snowplough parked out in the open on the stabling roads, but no reason it couldn't find itself in for or awaiting repair. , It was on here, page 25 to be precise, I blame old age.

Indomitable026 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 I’m now making out the feeling fueling area. Things to note here; 1) Track is concrete sleepers cast into a concrete plinth. 2) Drainage channels 3) Two wriggly tin shelters over pumps 4) Metal railing on edge of plinth adjacent to Rose Curve tracks https://www.flickr.com/photos/d9006/4643008406/in/album-72157610007241008/ 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted November 28, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2020 Note also that it's bullhead rail on the concrete sleepers; the Exactoscale P4 concrete sleepers are for flat bottom rail. C&L do concrete sleepers that would work with bullhead rail chairs - I might have some somewhere if you need a few? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
