Board yet? Baseboard progress...

Somehow even just mocking up something with wood and offcuts makes it all come to life in my mind...

 

Rose Hill has the beginnings of a baseboard! If you count an un-cut 18mm sheet of plywood as a beginning. These shots show her mocked up with track, Pacer and the two buildings.

A view from the fiddleyard/backscene end of the layout from both sides - note the planned curved end :)

With the encouragement and progress of my other new project (Meadow Lane) I had worried that this simple single line branchline terminus might not hold my interest.

I'd needn't have worried. Looking at these photos and working on the pub building last night have convinced me it's well worth finishing - even if only as a scenic exercise!

I know what you mean - I cannot wait to get the track-building phase out of the way so I can get on with the '*real* modelling!
