RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted August 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2019 As you all know I like to build small micro layouts and diorama. This build will be a small micro in OO gauge and will incorporate a single point which will lead to two small sidings. The baseboard has already been built using plywood and dressed pine. Baseboard size measures 18” x 8”. Tomorrow I will upload a picture of the baseboard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted August 31, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2019 Hi as promised the finished baseboard, track has been fitted in place along with the rough stone wall. This will be weathered in due course. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted September 1, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2019 Afternoon! Today I have been concentrating on the areas to be grassed, cardboard has been laid to form the land and Kitchen roll with PVA has been added. Will leave to dry now. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Cockburn Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Looking good so far, will be interesting to see how it develops further. I've constructed one or two shunting layouts in my time, but never one with only a single point (minimum for me has been three), but still, this would tend to go along with my motto/belief, that even simple layouts can be fun/interesting, can be up and running in a reasonable timescale, and are also a bit more "maintenance friendly", ie the less wiring/track there is, there can be less things to go wrong/put right!!

steve1 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I like what you have done here. Something you might like to consider if you are doing the paper towel & PVA again, is to add poster paint or similar to it when mixing up. That way it comes out ready coloured. It saves time painting and if it gets knocked, it doesn’t show white. steve 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
