Having been tinkering around with an 0 gauge system for a few years, which had been laid in SM32 to accommodate some of Ace Trains and ETS made models I eventually owned up to myself that I would like to improve the layout especially from the rather unprototypical track appearance. The final straw came when there was a case of severe warp on one of the baseboards. So, in exchange for certain of my coarse scale items I obtained some Peco bullhead track to start over. Then fate struck again and an illness prevented my working in my unheated garage for a couple of months - one of the side-effects of advancing years! Nevertheless health and weather improved and I have now reached the stage where the former layout is completely dis-assembled. The replacement timber and plywood is to hand and the reconstruction of the two baseboards is ongoing.
The name Whatborough is taken from the name of a now disappeared hamlet in Leicestershire, (my home county) and the project will be a branch terminus working on to two scenic boards giiving a total of 8'3" x 2'0" area running on to the existing traverser from the old layout which just needed a track change. I will post more progress as it becomes photographically viable.
