"Spitzenwald" takes shape, sort of... This shows about half of the 1700mm X 400mm baseboard
We are home again, and I think I’m having a reaction to the lack of activity over the last three weeks. The wheels arrived for my wagons, and yesterday I played about with some points on the shelves that will hopefully soon be the home for “Spitzenwald”. I have been doodling on bits of paper while I was in Japan, and I've come up with a general operating plan, so I cut some old cereal packets out to represent different items of rolling stock and test if they’ll fit in the different sidings and headshunts I’d planned.
So far so good: I’ve got a few ideas together and it seems I can accomodate two coach trains (ie: railcar and trailer). I’ll post a track plan as soon as I can…

Andy, it looks like you're using Ikea Ivar shelving for your layout. Is that the case? If so, I'd be interested in learning how you're using it.
Hello Alan, sorry, I almost missed the comment... Yes, I'm using an IVAR unit, but I've had no great ideas other than to place two 400x800mm ply baseboards on an existing (wide) shelf, so they fit between the uprights, and raised up a bit so they can go over the join. this way the shelf will support but I can remove it if need be. Sorry I can't be more help...
