Project 24 - Battledown Flyover #11 (Rusty Screws & Wood Offcuts)

Railway Modelling need not be as expensive as some may complain, especially if you keep spare fittings and wood from past projects for potential use in future baseboard construction.

This is baseboard #2 that cost nothing to build. It looks a right bodge and it is but, once the bridge and scenery is added no one will know.

One of the boards was my son's school artwork project that he did not claim when he left home (he is a dad now). Don't tell him I sanded away his picture.

The other odd shaped board is from another abandoned project. Two corners needed filling with triangular offcuts. One was cut too narrow so the gap was filled with another offcut that awaits sanding down.

The boards are 3/8 inch ply and frame 2 x1 timber to match the adjoining boards.

What is important in this bodged approach is to ensure the top is flat throughout and the assembly not twisted.

For the back story of this baseboard see post #10.
