Model Railways
Foxshaw Gardens Amusement Park
I wanted to make more room on this layout and decided that the only way to do it was to move the castle backward. To do this I had to raise it over the track.
These photographs show how I did it and also the finished result.
HOe/OO9 SCALE
The layout in October 2019.
I have lifted the castle off to make a trial base over the track.
The castle in place to give me an idea of whether or not I will carry on with the changes.
I have decided to make the changes, it will give me the extra space that I want.
The baseboard stripped ready for the changes.
This is the basic new base.
A few slight changes that were needed to the baseboard have been made.....
....and tidied up.
The base starts to take shape. I had to widen the front portal my 'toastrack' coaches were catching the sides. I prefer the the new shape and so I also changed the side portal to match.
The rides and side stalls etc. are all back in place, albeit in different positions. I am happy with the finished results this will give me more space to add things in the future. A toastrack coach is in the tunnel and also the inset.
