Hi Nigel. Thank you. My ventilatin for soldering is an electric fan, and I sit between the window and the fan.There is a YouTube model, that I have mentioned bafore "Dover Priory", and the close up shots of the track look true to life, if I could build track like that? Then I would be chuffed. My first rush of enthusiasm when I returned to model railways was to build four portable baseboards which are my workbench. I googled a " Cast Iron Flat Surface" but that was too expensive for me. A sheet of plate glass is a good substitute .As for DIY track I will put that idea on a back burner for now. All the best.

Hi Kevin, At least you had a look at it and gave it some consideration. I use a marble floor tile as a level surface for soldering. Past experience with glass is that it doesn't like a hot iron. Nigel ____________________ ©Nigel C. Phillips |

Hi Nigel. When I mentioned plate glass, It was only as far as getting a "flat square bottom" that I was talking about.All the best. Kevin ____________________ Staying on the thread Kevin. |
