Baseboards, yes honestly





Yes, i can't quite believe it either, a Baseboard, its a long time coming.


Construction is 3x2 C.L.S. timber with 12mm plywood.  its 1200mm x 1200mm (4'x4')











The track plan i have base the layout on is 900mm square, so with this being 300mm bigger i hope i am able to make the turntable at the top, big enough to take a Shay.  Also i hope to add a dock with a siding for unloading the material the is Mined/logged from the top of the hill.


This is my template track plan which i will amended to suit what i need   I want to make the lead onto the turntable have a more gentle curve,  Add a few inch's to the turntable to allow maybe a shay with a wagon to be turned (but this is not important, as i will mainly be using porters.)  And along the bottom add a dock with a boat beside it.


Now onto the fun bit of designing the track plan proper and decided what structures are needed......
