Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Hi,

A little more work has been done on this project; two of the shorter curved base boards have been made and it was decided to join them together with hinges using the same system that is used on our Rhydypenderyn layout.  When flat they are kept ridged by a bolt and wing nut.  This bolt goes through a jig drilled hole and is bushed with an aluminium tube. So, the two boards make up 90 degrees of a circle so four will be needed.  When folded and edges fitted, they will be about 120 mm (4.3/4”) thick so when two are stacked one above the other and the same done with the other two boards they will have a total thickness of 240 mm (9.1/2”) and this with a little more for packing is how much of the trailers 1486 (58.1/2”) length they will take up.  The next job is to fit folding legs under the boards.
