I have just ordered the wood for the baseboards and struts, the legs are 4 inch square timber, seeing as its not going anywhere, the stronger and sturdier the better and safer for all; will start construction proper when this horrid hot weather is finished, it plays havoc with my health problems, nothing to serious as such but, silly to just go gun ho and suffer unnecessarily and as such, impact on construction work and progres. ;D When the wood work part is completed will offer up some pictures to show just what things are like and, we can progress from there onwards,so, till then............. My very best regards to all..............Tom........... ![]() |

Hi Tom, So the adventure begins. All that fun, no problems, but I dare say a few challenges and hopefully you'll keep smiling! The weather will change, but we'll always have our railways. Good luck with the build. Best wishes, Bill ![]() ____________________ At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born ![]() |

Hi All, Well, two things today, first, had to have my retina scan for type 2 diabetes, and second, the remaining wood for the build came all ready now to make the actual start, have one box of 25 yds of track 009, but think i may have to get the lighting units for the garage before i get the second box of track, i mean, i do need to see what i am doing, mmmmmmmmm, i think!!!!! :laugh:. So will not belong till i get the first pictures of the bases shown erected and ready for planing stage, and, between that and the first track laying, there will be much chopping and changing like most layouts, so till then............... Very best regards to all.............Tom....... ![]() |

Hi Tom, I took my tubes down and repalced all mine with GU10 downlighters fitted with day light led's. All I can say is 'ITS BRIGHT' a little expensive on the LED front but Amazon can up trumps these are what I bought http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00UXIS3Q2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00 Check out my page and I have some images up.

Good Luck with the build , Tom. ![]() I've just sold two of my layouts and I'm looking forward to starting on a new one. ![]() I reckon that it's the most exciting part; starting with a blank canvas. All the best. ____________________ Max Port Elderley |

Good evening to every one,![]() Well, i have just finished the baseboards, seemed to go ok, found as mentioned before, my garage is not to square as seemed ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Due to my problems the baseboards and lighting have taken a little more time than i had envisaged, still, now all that is needed is to cover the joins in the tops and as i say, coat it with brown emulsion pain as per!!, after which i do promise to take and post some pictures of the build to present state and then you will all get a good idea of the layout proper, track plane still under revision, in shore, not much point in thinking about that side till the build got to this finish stage so, im thinking DERrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr : ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So till later people, my best regards and thanks.......................Tom................ ![]() ![]() ![]() PS....Needing a new chair for my model room, i was very happy to see some person dumped a used!!!, comfy computer chair in our skip, so a little renovation to said chair and, thank you very much, one nice comfy chair for yours truly.... ![]() ![]() Cheers...........Tom.... |

Hi Tom, Good work on the baseboards. The yellow tinge is your fluorescent lighting. Look on your camera settings and see what they are at. I suspect it may be set at incandescent. There will be another option for you on the menu, it may actually say fluorescent. Change the settings and try again. Looking good anyway. Cheers Toto |

A great start, Tom. Like Toto says, check your settings. It looks kinda curry flavoured. Curry is good. ![]() ____________________ Max Port Elderley |
