Hi,

Before fitting legs to the remaining four large base boards it was decided to make a cradle for them that fitted into the trailer.  A very straight forward construction compared with the cradle for the boards for the curved track.  To balance the load in the trailer the cradle for the curved track will be positioned in front of the axle and the cradle for the larger boards behind it.

The lips on the base boards was planed to a uniform height and rubbing blocks for when the boards are stored vertically fitted.  Storage boxes will take up the remaining spaces.

Young Gordon is threatening to visit tomorrow so we might get on with the remaining boards. 

The problem of the stays has been resolved; we visit our son this weekend to celebrate my wife’s birthday and he has ordered some black mild steel for me.
