Hi all,

I am planning my layout which shall comprise 7 individual baseboards, all dimensioned at 5' 6" x 2' 6". I shall be using alignment dowels and clips to connect each baseboard.

The problem that I need to resolve is that each baseboard will comprise two levels. The viewable part being on top with the fiddle yard sections below. The top sub baseboard will be of the open frame type whilst the bottom sub baseboad shall be a full width and depth sheet. Ideally, I need to be able to split the upper and lower levels to allow wiring and point motors fitted to each of the baseboard levels. My prefered baseboard material would be 9mm ply.

Has anyone attempted this type of construction and/or can anyone please help me get started? I have played about with a number of ideas but have come to the conclusion that it would be better to check with fellow modellers first.

Many thanks

Peter

Peter,

A good place for you start would be to visit the Scalefour Society website where there is a wealth of modelling information, including baseboard construction. You can pose questions on the Guest forum too.
