Havent updated this in a few days as i have been busy modifying one of the boards. The only problem with this layout was the curve from the scenic section round to the fiddle yard. This was far to tight and giving problems. Therefore something had to be done.
My initial thought was to make it straight but then i wouldnt be able to operate it at home so i then though why not have it both ways buy using a curved point but again still to tight.
Then i decided to add two pieces of 2x1 strip to the end of the layout (its now two inches longer) and then moving the track out using a template. Bobs your uncle it worked fine. The rest of the time has been spent adding bits of wood to the board so it fills the gaps where the extention has made it longer.
I've also tidied up the scenic break as it was all over the place. The last job is to extend the top of the scenic break. This is proving a little more problematical than first though but now the break has been straightened it should prove easier. Thats the theory anyway.
Trouble is i only have 9 days to go.....
Anyway enough for today.
