The two new boards (cottages and stone mason) were bolted into their end plates to form a solid and hopefully secure block.
The two main station boards were bolted into their double-deck frame.
Then the top and single side panel were dropped in place. The five trestles were collapsed as best they could be. The new support frame was also broken down. The lighting poles and the three lighting troughs (100mm plastic gutter) were grouped together.
The end of the station board was placed on top of the fiddleyard board, which remain unrestrained.
The now five backscene panels were wrapped in bubble wrap.
Fiddleyard cassettes were thoroughly cleaned and wrapped together. The crates at the front contain pretty much everything else. All construction and modelling tools, power supplies, controllers, nuts and bolts, etc., etc. The hoover, extension leads and the like stay loose, to be squeezed in where possible.
Then we'll pack it into two cars on Friday and make our way down to Salisbury!
