The First Cut

Work on my model railway is moving ahead slowly. I’m going to spend the winter working on scenery, starting with a river bridge.
To do this I first needed to cut out the river valley. I must admit to feeling slightly nervous as I cut away the baseboard under the track. Getting it wrong would mean having to do a rescue job.
Luckily everything went well: the baseboard didn’t collapse and I’m pleased with how it looks. There’s still lots of work to do, but at least I’ve made the first cut.
