    Well a new thread for a new, albeit relaunched Weybourne layout. I will be altering it to an L shaped layout and relaying some track to look more like the Sheringham terminus 5 miles from Weybourne.
    The shed base arrived today, it's a 12'x8' base so I need to alter it to a 12'x7' ready for the shed's arrival.I am covering the base with decking as the cross members on the base do not match the cross members on the shed. It will also give me a thicker, warmer floor!!

     This not the site for the shed, it's just laid out for measuring!!
    Very old photo of Sheringham station, the basis for the new(ish) layout.

    Crack on Sir,

    Looking forward to seeing this coming together again. The original concept was terrific ( and a bit of a marathon ) so good luck

    Busy building the shed base today, still in two halves until the final position is fixed. Still got to level it and cover with decking!!As the main decking arrives tomorrow I guess the base will have to wait until that's done (a weekends work I fear!).Anyway some progress and some photo's! :)

    The same boxed frame supports will work well for the shed as well.

    I'm amazed how much framework there is in the deck ! Is it hardwood or treated softwood ?

    Are you going to raise the deck so that the floor is level with the door way ??

    Cheers, Gary.

    Hi Gary, it's treated wood, the decking is in kit form ready cut in 1.2m squares. 6 squares worked just right, by the time the decking's on it will be just below the door step (I hope!) Getting it level was the hardest bit and I still have the shed base to do!
    Cheers

    Hi Ron lots of work going on here
    Down hear in Oz we have these things called stirrups that we use to mount the Joists on and a newer style one a saw recently was adjustable may be handy for getting it all level

    Do you guys ever use Concreate :scratchchin: we put poured slabs under everything

    Ron is that square closest to the camera the right way up looks like is upside down compared to the other or are they a universal "can go any which way" design.

    The adjustable stirrup :thumbs:

    I find using a water level (long clear hose) the best for leveling over long distances, rather than a spirit level. :thumbup:

    Yes Chris I'm considering using 'stirrups' for the shed base (when I've finished the 'bl**dy decking!!).Too old to be mixing concrete, did the last shed that way!!Anyway, more decking planks ready for screwing!!
    Cheers
