Christmas pressies and Corner Baseboard in place

Here's the Railway goodies I received this Christmas;


 
On the top left are some nice period cars.
A red E Type Jag (the best car ever made), a green/black Austin Atlantic Saloon, a black Beetle, a turquoise/grey Morris Oxford, a black Ford Popular 103E, a black/grey Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire and a black XK 120 Jag.

Above right are two sets of figures and some brown cows and calves.
 
Above are a six wheel Unigate Creameries Milk Tanker, a GWR Cattle Waggon and GWR 7 Plank Waggon

How lucky am I!

The corner baseboard is now finished, apart from the rising track bed which will be added when all the baseboards are complete.
Here are a couple of photos of the corner baseboard in its final position;

I am especially pleased with the fit, there are minimal gaps at the track bed level and between the backsceens.

Next job is to make the hinges for the lifting baseboard across the door, using the drop nosed pins again. Then adjust this lifting baseboard to close the gap between the main left hand and main right hand baseboards.

So back to the workshop.
