Reach for the Ply - The Aftermath!

Well it got to Alexandra Palace for the London Festival of Railway Modelling.

Just...

Had to add some more figures to make it look less like a grey desert as well as a bit of detailing around the water columns, clutter, etc.

As to presentation, I took this photo just before the opening and looked at it days afterwards. It looked very untidy. I will not be putting an explantation board like that at the front again! I will try to remember a mirror so that people can see how things are done underneath the layout.

Operational experience has shown a problem with the legs that was not immediately apparent. This is that over a period in time the extra weight of the traverser causes the layout to dip to the left. I am now working on a system using aluminium angle that promises to be more rigid and about the same weight.

Next appearance is likely to be at the St Albans and District Model Engineers show in September 2003.
