Some first shots of what I have already referred to as the 'main' trackbed, again on a base of 4mm plywood. Also seen are the points I shall be using and my own versions of those 90* crossings so idiosynchratic of ' the Patch'.
Please ignore the half finished point second from left in the pictures: this is just for the purposes of marking out and gauging where everything will eventually go.
Also seen are lengths of wire in copper tubes which will serve as point activators, of which, more later.
The 'trenches' to accomodate have yet to be cut in these shots but have since been completed - photos to follow.
The set square marks approximately where the backscene will go, so as you see, a narrow affair as well as a short one. I must be careful not too cram too much in and spoil the effect.
