Andrew P Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 A little more has been done on here over the last couple of days as a break from Trewithen, as I have an area on there that needs more thought before proceeding. So I have fitted some Copper Clad ends to the Rails on the Board joint, courtesy of my friend Kevin @Hampshire Hog When folded the Board will be 3ft 6 inches x 2ft (106.68cm x 60cm), Ideal for the boot of a Car and to take to shows if anyone wants to put their name on it yet. 😮 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, no, he is just thinking ahead to the fully anticipated sale of the railway. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevea Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hi, Andy Like the poster above, I've only just seen the layout thread. I'm a bite late with an alternative name suggestion - thought Bute Docks might have worked, especially in a Forrest Gump accent... Anyway, I'm sure it will be another gem off your production line. Will watch with interest Regards Steve 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the Forest Gump accent, having never seen the Film or heard the voice, but if its anything like my Devon accent, (and I left Devon at 4 years of age, apart from 3 years back there on the late 80's), its enough to drive anyone to sleep, (see my Trewithen Videos, 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PeterBB Posted June 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2022 Interesting hinged baseboard giving better access to a 'familiar' track plan - getting over the 'problem' of the hinge area in Cadley Hill that required quite a modification. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Peter, Sorry for the late reply, for a narrow board, this is the best method I've come up with so far, but it needs locating dowels or bolts / latches to secure it firmly together. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 This morning as a rest from Trewithen, I have made a start on the wiring, but first I couldn't resist a quick photo pic session with the Stock I'm taking to Kevin's @Hampshire Hog on Monday for a play on his Millway Dock Layout. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
