The first of two boards has been put together, made of board , re-enforced with some wooden beams and a styrofoam underlay, providing some extra rigidity and some sound insulation. The track is Roco Line code 83. While this has a european geometry , once ballast has been applied, I don't think that will be so obvious, besides, I think I'l get some Peco code 83 turnouts anyway. I put the track down loose here and am just moving it about , together with a 54' reefer , a loading platform and a GP35 to get a feel for the available space, and try to visualise what I want to do.
I'm hoping that it will provide me with some inspiration. I have also marked the 6" location from the edge to see how far 'in' the first turnout needs to be, to adhere to the module standard I'm trying to follow.
