Building the baseboard

October 8th, 2007 Posted in Construction

The baseboard structure is basically a three sided box fabricated from 7mm plywood, glued and pinned. Additional rigidity is supplied by a central I-beam also created from the same ply. The whole structure is about half the weight of my first baseboard attempt and a lot stronger.

The ledge along the front will accommodate the various
under arch workshops and businesses.

To allow cabling to be fed through, two holes have
been cut to in the central I-beam.

    Keep plugging along…it looks great. Hopefully this will inspire me to create a layout from my “Blue Diesel Days”!
