Hi,

Decisions made and hopefully the finial drawings done; the boards for the two curved tracks, the general arrangement drawing though there will be four straight boards back and front not three as shown on the drawings and the two drawings for cutting the plywood.

Four sheets of 2440 x 1220 mm 5.5 mm thick plywood was cut by the suppliers to the drawings.  There was enough plywood for all the base board tops: 8 wide sections and 10 narrower sections along with all the edges.

A template to mark out the base boards for the curved track was made its edge joint being made with glue and staples.
