Thanks Rob.
I'm impressed with how strong the shelf seems, got a shelf about 6ft x 10in, struggling to find a plan I really like at the moment but I'm sure I'll find something.
The Sheep Chronicles. A Sheep dips his hooves in various bucolic backwaters.

Hi Steve.
Sounds like you have a LACK shelf, 190cm x 26cm × 5cm.
This was my first effort using LACK shelving.
The scenic section was 110cm x 26cm.
Sheep Lane.

I built, with the Roding Valley MRG, Westbridge and Watney Street goods on Ikea drawer units years ago. They were 6mm ply and very square and accurate. They made a fantastic base for a layout and were cheap.
Here are some pictures, (OO code 100 Piko Track, (Which was horrible)).

Thanks Rob, the 190 cm one is exactly what I have. You've a knack of making them look bigger! I'm finding the 26cm width a bit of a challenge as I was looking for an urban setting with buildings etc but I might just go for a retaining wall.

Hi Steve. Yep. It is a challenge. My approach is to keep buildings low and have just a few of them. Not really an option in an urban setting but it's worked okay in my rural offerings so far.
I've standardised of sorts on the LACK nest of tables which gives a main board of 120cm x 40cm x 5cm. The additional 14cm makes quite a difference.

Rather a lot of limited clearance areas there, that door too opening right onto the track. Has H&S been round to inspect?

This view has got me thinking. 
The whole layout has need of details. This area is just crying out for man made stuff to be lying about ( within reason) but it really does needs a bit of mother nature sticking out here and there. A few ferns on the stone work and a bit of moss, trailing green stuff etc......
Mmmmmmm.

Will do....after I've finished shunting.
Tonight sees me quite simply playing trains.
A pause in operations at Bleat Wharf.
Motive power is one of the splendid Dapol B4's......far too busy to be photographed though.

I just want to say, "Twenty Three Likes In A Row". There, I've said it.
Now count back and see where I started. You can never have enough sheep in a day, and if you count them in the evening your eyelids get hea

With some full size planning I'm finding it easy to overcrowd the boards, I might have to revise my location!
Like that brake van on Bleat Wharf in the last photo

It's snug, that's all.........A result of the line and consequently the buildings,,being built to 2ft gauge.
The door to the left is the coal store.
Snug.
