Norfolk heath works baseboards. Another 009 Layout!


Nice day yesterday so the opportunity was taken to  assemble the five boards I have from Stuart at Norfolk  Heath Works. A new trestle/table has been made which will provide mounting for narrow width layouts.

The line up consists of two sector plate boards at either end, a drop front board, a plain board and a drop section board.

Once all assembled and setup the process of a plan for track was started. Not smoking now meant this wasn't drawn on the back of a fag packet but on a sophisticated small notebook.
  The name for the layout hasn't been fully decided upon yet but several ideas have been suggested.

We all need a little support.

Secret Santa is such a nice guy!
He took the time and trouble to source a pair of these from-in this case Block and Quayle- before struggling down the chimney to deliver on Christmas Day-What a guy 'cause these things aren't light.

The upshot of all this is that they can support layouts up to 2ft wide and at heights up to 1.3metres- 4ft in old money. This means, in the case of Hillbrow that you have to stand back slightly to view the layout.
