12. Getting a good angle

 I've been trying to avoid having the Mill and its sidings placed parallel to the board edges. I feel that an angle gives the scene a slightly more realistic appearance.

So I'm aiming at something like this, here the Mill complex is set about 10 degrees off the axis of the board. This makes the design of the off-scene tracks more complex, but to be honest I'm beginning to think that a simple fiddle-stick/cassette might suffice here.

The Finetrax point base is evident. This kit went together very well, I made one stupid error, but I think I got away with it, and we should see progress with track-laying very soon.

I'm also confident that the 08 may be running in time to allow testing of the new track shortly too.

I've also been progressing the aperture layer of the Mill and a couple of other projects.
