    Finally some progress to report on.

     

    I took the decision to order some new baseboards for the layout, as the previous folding board that I had been using needed major work doing to it, and was just a bit too small all round. 
     

    I therefore ordered myself a set of three 900x400mm laser cut ply baseboards from Grainge and Hodder (previous customer when Tim and I were building Duddon Bridge), and these duly arrived a week or so ago:

    Last night I cracked on and assembled the first two boards, all very easy to do with wood glue and plenty of masking tape to hold it all in place whilst the glue set:

    I think that the second board has sufficient weight on it? :D

    Hopefully I can get the third board built tonight and then I can sort out the supporting structure for the boards!  

     

    Oh and a new addition arrived for the tramway company fleet:

    She’ll be getting a few alterations here and there when I build her (tramway skirts and sprung buffers for a start), and I just need to decide on a suitable name too. 

    You could choose a name from here https://mega.nz/folder/kTAyQJSb#_g8SmzeaufgoLGEEwIwwFA/file/wW5m2Qob (This is a Sheet of names concerning T&F's Sister show TUGS)
