What I have been doing.

Hi,

As our Rhydypenderyn portable layout is getting a bit much for my wife and I to handle about six months ago we embarked on building a new one that is lighter and easier to handle. We have got as far as finishing the base boards and a video of progress to date is at:

Take care and stay healthy.

Tony.

Well done Tony, you have been busy. Well timed too as you have time to finish the build before next exhibition season.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

A masterpiece of wooden engineering. Really clever the way you've managed to make it all fit into the trailer (with a bit of minor tweaking!).

I'll second what Rik said, the concept, the build, the complete assembly filming. Truly a complete "How To" on building a portable layout. Great workmanship Tony, well done.
Grant.
