Hi,

I had to go to the opticians today so took the opportunity to go to a house window manufacturer to buy some wood finish plastic window surround to use as edging for the base boards.  My previous exhibition layouts have used plywood as edging but because of weather considerations I used window surround for my garden railway; it has a lot going for it, as it comes in 5 metre lengths and is already finished,  I have fitted this edging to one of the base boards to see what it looks like.

I am reasonably happy with the design of the fittings I have made, so I am making jigs to replicate them more quickly. There has been one alteration they have been lengthen a bit to give more clearance for the wing nuts used on one of them. The first jigs to be made are for the fitting that retains the leg when it is folded; one for drilling the other for shape.  Some photographs of the plastic edging fitted and the drilling jigs.
