I'm starting again. :twisted::twisted: The boards are far too heavy and awkward, the track bed is too hefty and most of the trackwork is in the wrong place !!!! I had wanted a station on a curve (a la York) and, to take my Pullman train, it has to have 6ft platforms. To get that onto the end of what I've started, I'd need the whole house and Liz has said a firm "NO".
The track plan will stay roughly the same but maybe not quite so ambitious. I'm going to take more care with planning and track laying this time. Also, the flux I used when soldering seems to be gently digesting the track itself - not a pretty sight !! I've learnt a lot since then. :roll::roll:
I plan to use ply for the framework, slightly smaller than before and not quite so heavily engineered - do you think 10mm would be strong enough ? I'll have to stick with my 2'6" depth but they'll only be 4ft long instead of 5ft.
Back to the drawing board. :roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

You should be deciding on the location first worry about the baseboards later

Then book your cheap flight to Cornwall and come and stay with us until Liz calms down - a year or so should be enough :roll:

Forget the wine and chocolates - who wears the trousers in your place? Just walk in, say "Woman, the layout is going there, I will get a miniature York and that's all there is to it."
Brave or fighting talk that …… depends how fast you can run, duck or weave. :pedalmutley
Thinking on Bourdeaux …… bottle of ………… how about "The Vineyard" as a name for the station?

Or dump me in the pool - it wouldn't be the first time !!!Good idea Dave. But the baseboards are so heavy. If Peter makes too many suggestions Liz might move it for him
