Some of you will remember a couple of years ago my first attempt at doing a portable track for my local tennis club.
If not here is the topic - My New ROC Layout
From that experience I learnt a few things and as the same thing did not happen last year I've had a long time to think about this years.
So, the first thing to do was re-organize the boards. I found the two rows of three boards very difficult to marshal, so this time I have gone for an "L" shaped set up. Also the boards were not easy to store so some changes were required there too.
Now each board sits snuggly on top of the next, so saving a lot of space.
Each has had a first coat of paint.
The layout I have created looks like this.
The idea is to be able to have two lengths of layout by adding or removing board "1a"
I have laid it out in the garden today and basically, it works.
All track within the board edges will be fixed down with the track pieces bridging the joins being removable.
Well that's it so far.......
