It was crunch-time this week and we decided to investigate the 'siding-along-the-front' idea. The trestles came out and timbers were clamped onto the front, followed by some planed white timber laid on top. Then, some 00 flexitrack was laid down and the discussion started.
The extension framework would be plywood (9mm), bolted or screwed onto the existing baseboard. This would allow the current layout to remain as it is. However, the fence would be out-of-place in between the two tracks and technically should be moved to the outside of the new siding line. A big decision required there.

| The basic concept |
 |
| An option to represent a disused track to 'somewhere'. |

| A couple of options for the point location were possible. |
It's early days and nothing will be decided for a long time, but at least we have 'a project' for the time being.
