Good evening,
A small amount of progress has taking place over the past two evenings. As I have already added all the measurements scaled down to the plans found on the LNER website, I have now made a start on drawing out the various parts on a 1.5mm thick sheet of plasticard. I chose this thickness, as the structure will be relatively high, I would like it to be durable and not be too flimsey. However this thickness is a nightmare to cut out and takes a while for the knife to go through each cut, then a small amount of filing is needed to tidy up the edges.
Well, I thought I would start from the ground up, and here are the first pieces cut out and ready. The two lower sides and the West facing side have been cut initially and below is a photo showing the progress. I am pleased so far and will next cut out the main structure legs/beams which will be made using 4mm square plastic strip.
I hope to draw out a trackplan over the next few days which will be as close to the prototype as possible.
Best regards,
Jeremy
