Nice job making that shelf hog more compact Jim. Some enviable upgrades added at the same time. Looking forward to seeing the 55 tricked out and shrunk a bit too.

Thanks Daniel, the original base board would have been 2.5x bigger and times two of them....that was a LOT of real estate!

G'day Bruce,

The dimensions of the original boards (both the #20 & #55) are exactly 500mm x 400mm and I have taken a closed up of the routed edge.

Wow, didn't know they had these nice edges.

If I had the storage space... And the money... I'd have a few more engines.
