Today may have been the last guaranteed day of no rain for sometime. With this in mind, I decided to to erect the layout outside and look at solving two issues with the setup that surfaced at Workington.
- First being why the the support beams sagged at one end
- Second is to solve the sagging top and pelmet
I'm hopeful that I've solved both. The beams seemed to be OK, so don't know why they sagged at one end at the Workington show...but I did tighten some connections. The addition of the cantilever cable has definitely helped with the sagging top/pelmet.
It's been an excellent exercise erecting the layout in its exhibition format again. Has given m chance to hone my skill in putting it all together. While I continue with constructing the track, I now have to give some thought to the back screen. Not just to which material to use but how easy or difficult it will be to hang it from the rear pelmet. Besides the back screen, there is the lighting to consider...
