Hazel Markham - Baseboard and track plan

Been playing with AnyRail 5 ( https://www.anyrail.com/download_en.html ) and got the track plan together and it fits on a 7ft x 2 1/2 ft baseboard

I was using the trial version which limits you to 50 items, so I scanned in the plan inserted it into a Word document and added the locations of the main buildings and signals.

I did plan to have a fiddle yard behind scenes but have gone for two traversers which should give me more storage for the available space.

The red lines represent the back scene boards, the dashed lines the edge of the bridges and the red line nearest the front will be the forward limit of the traversers which will be cover.

The diagram of the baseboard framing. I am looking to make the baseboard frame from 12mm ply cut into 100mm strips to give me the depth for the traversers mechanism and turnout motors plus anything else I may want to mount under the board.

The baseboard deck will probably be 6mm or 9mm ply.
