Another few hours today tinkering with Templot, re-adjusting a few things. I have marked out where the baseboard will be and measured it to make sure it will fit within the 18.83 sq ft limit. The inner red box is the full baseboard size. A little trimming was required but i am just within. I had to lose the road bridge and one the other end omit the point leading to the coal drop and engine shed. Will have to simulate using the cassettes. I will have 3 main boards for the scenic area plus 2 fiddle yards. Doubtful it will all fit in my Insignia though!!!! If I can convince my mate to help me at the show, he has a new super-size VW SUV thingy which i should be able to fit it all in
Screenshot of where I am at so far and I have labelled each road based on the drawing on the LNWR site. I have checked that all the joins are lined up properly, so timbering next. I have had a play with the Shift Timbers function, and looks easy enough. Its where they should be located, at what angle, whether they should be full length, trimmed, interlacing etc.......that's the tough bit!!
Quick question - as this was an old LNWR shed, should the timbers be 9' or is 8'6" pretty standard?
Thank you all so far for the help and encouragement you have given me so far - it is very much appreciated. I will hopefully see some of you at Missenden in a few weeks if you are going. This time I have signed up for the painting and lining course. Although track-building would have probably been more suitable all things considered. Not sure if they were putting that one on this year or not.
