I have a small storage unit on a local business park and just managed to get my modelling stuff out of there before lockdown. Sadly I didn't get the current baseboard for a micro or my stocks of timber out in time. The reason they were in there temporarily? Well the story ain't worth repeating. <br /><br />Anyway the new shed for storage, freeing up the converted garage for model railways was due to be delivered and installed last Tuesday. The day after Mr Johnson closed everything. I lost the race against time. The garage (now Gary as it has a proper floor and has been plastered and painted) is a tip.<br /><br />The only saving grace is I'd just bought two pairs of Ikea Lack coffee tables (inspired by the sheep themed layout guy)and have joined one pair together as a 6' by 16" baseboard. The only additional materials to the tops and the legs (used as bracing, though their internal integrity is pants) are two lengths of 5mm ply which provide support in the vertical plane. It is ugly but effective. And I can store the layout vertically and put it up on my Stanley saw horses for the build and operation. In the kitchen. ;-). <br /><br />I figure I've got six months to complete this. Cushty. <br />Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248763185543793323noreply@blogger.com
