Dave Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hi I'm new! Hi everybody, I'm Dave and I'm new to model railways and the forums. I have started building my own layout earlier this year and discovered that I couldn't buy baseboards. I'm a cabinet maker so I designed my own using MDF. With work slowing down I have come up with a modular baseboard system at a very competitive price. This is my layout and a couple of pictures taken at the toy and train collectors fair at Clontarf. I welcome your comments. Cheers Dave http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidlindfield/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks lads, Hi BosKonay, I have a price list for the standard sizes but I can make any size. I can also make helix's storage units for underneath. Pretty much anything. If you pm me with your email address I email a price list over to you.

Any good layout should have really good baseboards and for anyone that might be a bit nervous about cutting timber you are providing a top class service. It's nice to see the leveling feet provided also. Good luck with you're venture. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
