bgman Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I was confused but a good curry has now sorted me out. Food for though my good man, it's likely to have you blowing in the wind tomorrow morning, much like Robs new layout ! Sue Sheff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted April 2, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2018 Although this was a bit of fun to start with it could get serious with the purchase of one of these. Having somewhere to store it will be the key here. https://www.timhorn.co.uk/2ft61cms-wide-baseboard-modules/ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Hi Rob, good to see a start with this now your on the Dark Side. My Parents lived just outside of Wadebridge so travelled this line a lot in the mid to late forty's during and after the War, now I have two Cornish Branches to watch develope. Pity I still don't have Trebudoc. Edited April 2, 2018 by Andrew P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK on single boards but looks a bit distracting where there are multiple boards. Would be better IMO to have the rib on the rear in that situation.

OK on single boards but looks a bit distracting where there are multiple boards. Would be better IMO to have the rib on the rear in that situation. For me, what would be ideal would be if the backscene components could be removed separately, so that you could work on the back part of the layout, without the vertical sections potentially getting in the way. Otherwise, they look fab. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
