Following on from the post in my thread about Leeming Yard, I have dug out the board from its hiding place again, and taken a couple of photos!
Size, 4'x18" (not including any fiddle yard, which I still have to make and will probably be 2'x18")
The first photo shows the general track plan (yes they are my feet!), the lower line is at the front, and should be parallel to the middle line. The short stub at the rear is parallel to the edge of the board and I'm not sure whether to have this as a wagon shop line with some gratuitous dual gauge for my small collection of 7mm NG to have a little run or to electrify it and have it as the Electric shed, with the diesel shed (or part of it) at the front right. The fuel point will be a Peter Clark kit.
The second photo shows the underside of the board, the crossbeams and outer edges are all 4" deep. It survived a house move with the most useless man with van (thought it would go in two loads but needed three, and he got lost on the way home! And some stuff was left which my parents had to go and retrieve, and some stuff never made it from Seaham to Ipswich
)
It does flex a little at the moment but once the backscenes are added it should stiffen up.
Just enough to whet the appetite, and I need to think of a name for it!
