Cheap N Gauge Baseboard

Because of the small size of N Gauge model railways, I found a wallpaper pasting table to be a very cheap baseboard and stand. OK, it's not the most stable object but at around £10 in your local DIY store, it's great, if like me, you don't have too much money to spend constructing a miniature model railway. I also bought a couple of timber battens to screw under the long edges from end to end to give it more rigidity. I also purchased some extra 6 inch thin cladding and made a border edge around the whole table, although I later removed the front edge to allow better access to the railway.




You can see from the pictures above how the baseboard worked out for me. You can also see that I constructed a series of tunnels at the right hand end using timber left over from the cladding.
