    Thanks again for all the comments http://www.click .......thanks to Chris (kentishlad) and his laser level, with help from Ralph, last weeks get together, ended up with two blue lines on the white backing board. One was a level datum line and the other plotted the incline from top board to bottom board. So for the last couple of days I've been assembling the incline.
    [​IMG] Still another 5.4 m of incline to go......:facepalm:

    Just about ready for a coat of paint, then tomorrow the foam underlay will be cut and the track installed and tested.[​IMG]

    A little bit more work done on the back ground of the junction board as well.....still lots to do here. Signal box to build which will go in the space in the middle of photo.

    Well not much to report re the extension build, due to the Perth show, domestic jobs etc etc and starting some loco builds, but one job has been completed thanks to Chris aka kentishlad, who installed some down light directly over the layout, as the original lights installed by the builder where fitted in the wrong position. The picture might not show how much better it is but It is 100 x better. So thanks Chris :thumbs:

    No worries Kim, all I can remember is coughing my guts up with the insulation......that cup of tea after was the best!

    It's surprising what doubling the number of units from 8 to 16 makes :cool:

    Taking a break from the Hymek conversions this morning, I "planted" another 30+ trees....which then led on to some loco testing :avatar: :facepalm: will I ever finish it.

    Brilliant Kim.

    Just as well the tree line is providing some protection for the signalman until the roof gets fitted :avatar:
