I love what I take to be a Vac. gauge on the solebar.
Given that I cannot see any battery boxes then the gauge is more likely to be pressure in a gas reservoir. However as I like my carriages to be in Lake or Blue then who am I to say?I love what I take to be a Vac. gauge on the solebar.

Dont do it !!!!!!
We've had quite a bit of trouble with foam under MDF on Crosscombe... Probably be okay in Finescale, but personally I'd say it wasn't advisable in S7..

Given this bit in the last paragraph....Forgive my ignorance graham but does it matter if it is fixed
.... personally I'd take that as a "yes", & having taken my own layouts to Exhibitions, I can understand why....... items which are proud of the baseboard top, such as buffer stops, ought to be removable...
Maybe not... although I would be concerned if any of the buffer stops got damaged when moving from here to there.Forgive my ignorance graham but does it matter if it is fixed
At this time there are to be four baseboards and probably only two of similar dimensions so a piggy back arrangement is not going to work in all cases.What is the problem exactly?
I would say people liable to such bad operating shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the controls ...especially of an S7 layoutHaving seen a - okay, it was plastic, but - 4mm scale buffer stop completely demolished by a 3F at full tilt up a head shunt, I would say.......

Glued..???!!?? Not soldered?? ahhh... all my idealistic visions about life at the Front of the Class have been cruelly dashed........ The buffer stops were white metal and glued together as a unit with the track.

D'oh!! I never thought of that...Ah yes, but think about it...
..... I couldn't solder the front to the sides or I'd build in a short.
I rest my case m'lud.
No, no, no.... NO!My place at The Back is secure....
Back to the real world. The trackwork for Hartley Hill is being produced and laid in Hampshire whilst the future home of the layout is around 100 miles to the east - hence items which are proud of the baseboard top, such as buffer stops, ought to be removable. So, WTers, how would you arrange for a buffer stop built from rails, pcb bufferbeam and wood sleepers to be trial fitted now and then removed for transport?
