Monon - from idea to layout

At a Monday night meeting of the Wakefield Railway Modellers Society I gave a talk on turning dreams into reality. From the ideas gained at this meeting I intend to plan, construct and operate a HO scale layout based upon the Monon

 

22/02/14 saw this paste table at local DIY store and have decided to use as the base for the Monon layout. It gives 200 cm by 56 cm of space so will have a go at converting it into the base for the new layout. The idea would be to replace the hardboard spacer pieces on the V legs with thin plywood and after removing the hardboard top fit stopper blocks and securing pegs to the legs. A shelf will be constructed across the bottom of the legs and used to mount the electrical supply.

Replaced the hardboard slats with wood strip to reinforce the legs and made a tray to fit between the legs. This then creates the support structure on which the track work will then fit

Top trays made and placed onto the framework. Height is at 86 cm from floor height. Need to connect onto the framework using suitcase fasteners and the pattern makers dowels to connect both boards

F3 locos run at the club last night and intend to run as a pair of A units. Both are Genesis models, one sound equipped so looking to investigate a second speaker as well as being chipped.

 

Hopefully pick something up at the Derby Show this weekend
