Thanks to you all for your kind words and encouragment
Short update on things today ....... i spent the afternoon redoing the end table board stripping the track from it the remainder of the turntable still in place it needs a thin ply covering to make it my worbench ..... though small hopefully it will make me neater and there is plenty of space underneath to add shelves, for a DC supply and another powerpoint for the iron etc.
Also at this end is the tunnel which needs access for maintenance and any derailments that occur though there hasnt been a problem with those so far ......... the end board will give support for the tunnel top and form a backboard.

Almost full board width access to the inside of the tunnel ...... from the left side i can reach to the end of the tunnel.
The Grey board is a refueling/sand tower base if it will fit in on the layout ....... half finished.
