Whats that then Woody?

When you construct something like this...

My Last Great Project

...you do get asked what it is. It is difficult to answer apart from its for my model railway. It is only when you fit it to the baseboard that it explains itself - well to me anyway!

My Last Great Project

It is a cover for the hidden loops! Well the base for it anyway!

This took a lot of thinking out - never my best point. Clearances are tight and there is a need for thinks to fasten to each other and for the whole lot to be able top be removed if I need to deal with a derailment or maintain the track.

My Last Great Project

My solution was to have cross bars between the upright front wall and the back and my further solution to secure them was tabs that slide into the gaps that I left in the horizontal support that I fastened to the profile board yesterday.

My Last Great Project

It does actually all work! Yes! I amazed myself too!

Taking a step back and placing the brick paper covered card wall that I started making some time ago and the whole thing makes more sense in this picture then my words could ever!

My Last Great Project

I just need to make the top cover now!
