This is something I have been pondering ever since I saw this photo on the front of Great Eastern in Town & Country book
The plan is to have a cameo layout in EM gauge about 48" x 18" .I wanted a strong lightweight track bed as its on a viaduct and settled on a plastic soffit board. There are no detailed photos in the book, and behind left should be tenements (I think Adolf redeveloped this site in the early 40's) Its going to be my own interpretation of a docklands scene
This is showing an early version on a card former, using Wills products to determine heights etc
The exact orientation of the track bed is yet to be decided, as are the position and sizes of the warehouses I have and will need to buy. The warehouses are ones I brought on eBay at reasonable prices and are really scratch builders aide, but do come with windows, doors etc
I have already decided on something a bit different than shown in the bottom photo
I did think about making the track bed interchangeable with both an EM and 00 versions, but that may be beyond my baseboard building skills
