No doubt it's not going to stay too hot for very long.

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 :)

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……. :) ;) 8)

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

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.

I can visualise where and what your doing as I am pretty much in the same boat.
Maybe you would like to include some photos to show us your progress?

Well, i have just finished the baseboards, seemed to go ok, found as mentioned before, my garage is not to square as seemed :???:;-), but, at least it looks nice and flat and basically square, so, that will do for now, so, on to the painting of the surface, thinking brown, usual thing, nothing special their ;), o yes, i also have the lighting sorted out and working fine; my disablements and shattered left shoulder of two years past, ( around 12 places as such so they tell me ), also give very bad range of usage so, not able to reach up as high or move as to many movements as i did before, never mind tho`..;-)
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 ::roll::shock::???:;-)…..
So till later people, my best regards and thanks…………………..Tom……………. :);-):cool:
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….

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.
