Plate 47: View looking southeast with the upper roadbed temporarily elevated
(This plate added SEP 2003)
|
In this view, the four sections of plywood roadbed for the inner loop have been cut out from the "quarter panels"
by means of a saber saw fitted with a scroll blade.
The four sections of roadbed have been temporarily elevated from the baseboard, lying loosely upon a uniformly-sized set of books ("The Epic of Flight" from Time-Life Books). Each book stands at a height of 11-3/4 inches. The height of the permanent elevated roadbed will be 12 inches ( representing a height of 76 feet in Hornby train scale). |
