Michael,
I am considering the purchase of pre-cut baseboards for the next project and I am keen to learn from others's experiences in the matter. If you are willing to share, please consider posting information on:-
* what was needed other than the core baseboards, for example:- legs, joining items;
* what you needed to specify in regard to your requirements for the baseboards, for example:- end profiles;
* what work you needed to do to the "as bought" items to make the result meet your needs for starting the layout.
thank you, Graham
I'm glad it's sold and hopefully gone to a good home. Though it wasn't what I was looking for in a track layout, the quality of the build meant if it had gotten any cheaper I wouldn't have been able to resist!In spite of some adverse remarks this layout is now sold and has, I think, gone to someone who appreciates it.
Thank you all for your support that I had while building it, I enjoyed the experience.
The last day I spent track lifting was some 40 years ago, when I drove a few volunteers to Harlaxton ironstone quarries to dismantle a couple of points for re-use in North Norfolk. I do remember being pretty tired afterwards, with aching muscles, but not as much as after today's track lifting marathon - and this was only S7!
At least the oxygen bottle didn't roll out of the back of the van on the way home - unlike last time
Thanks Michael, especially for all the unexpected extras, and I'm sure WTers will be fascinated to read how you cover those vacant baseboards!
P.S. how appropriate, then, that some of the Farrington Road PW is destined to be laid in an S7 ironstone quarry………..
