The boards I would like are these ones: http://www.modelscenerysupplies.co.uk/model-railway-baseboards/basic-base-boards. I am looking at installing working point rodding, so the point motors where the points are in awkward locations would be placed there. Also, houses by the line or a bush might be a place in which to hide one of those new 'Micro Point Motors' from DCC Concepts https://www.dccconcepts.com/product-category/the-cobalt-collection/cobalt-point-motors/cobalt-ss/. So, therefore, all my 'signalman' will have a mix of mechanical working and electronic working- just like the real thing in the 50s and 60s! By the way, does anyone remember bundles of wiring coming down from electric pylons to ground level in order to cross the railway?
