A big layout


I worked a little this afternoon. I am very happy with the result. I used wood screws to attach everything. I need to add battens under the two "bridges". I'll do that later. The photos explain it better than I can. Hope it's clear...
Quick reminder: I need to be able to quickly disassemble my layout (SWMBO rule) :p

looks nice, but the wood you are using is not a really great choice i think. if this wood is the same as we have in switzerland, its a "sucker" so if adding colors it will "blow up". also the edges are not really strong on this type of wood, they can easily break. so if there is still time to change i would go for plywood.

i hope you get what i mean iam not that great in explaining in english :D

An answer to that is simply to use a coloured sticky-backed vinyl, but they're a pain to apply

I get it ! I use chipboard. Plywood is too expansive.

I am French. So my English is very bad... but it seems like everyone understands me here.
 
I drew an extremely complicated plan for my new layout. It took me several months. I'm very pleased with the result. 🤣

Get To Know The Trix C Track

Søren's Model Railway Pages - <img src=_/image0f17.html?picture=/Ctrack/pieces.jpg%22 /> <p>I like to build, rebuild, break down, set up, build again, and again and rebuild and so it goes. In other words: I need a track system that is easy to use and easy to set up and take down. The Trix C...
