[Brian Mosby]

I removed one on the 2 sets of boards join together by the backscene & test fitted it in the car with 2 of the 3 back seats removed I will get all 4 set in the car I will need to make up some end boards for transport in sets of 2
So I will be able to go to show with 3 operators  all in one car with the layout

Fantastic progress, Mozzer. I was just about to ask if everything would fit in your vehicle for transport. What about the legs?

the backscene I am going to be using are by id Backscenes & is from there Premium range which is self-adhesive
the info that comes with them say if you are using MDF for your backscene then it will need a coat of Gloss paint
So today I have removed the 3 sheets of MDF from the scenic boards & given them a coat of white gloss paint

now that's done the next job is to spread the ballast & glue it down & once I start that I will post some update photos
