Track laying hasn't even started, and the 2mm scale Lord Mayor is getting fed up of hanging around and waiting.
I wanted to glue a double layer of polystyrene ceiling tiles to the board and use them as a track base. I wanted polystyrene so that I could cut into it later on to create a pond and a small ditch/stream. This sounds unbelievable I know, but I cannot find any plain tiles in east Hull at all. I thought that B&Q would be a safe bet. Forget it. Either there on the verge of closing down or the restocking department isn't doing its job properly.
So it's beginning to look like the only other option is foam track underlay and no pond and stream. Unfortunately the budget has been exceeded for this month, so if I go for the foam underlay then I'm looking at a delay of about a fortnight.
A friend has suggested a type of felt underlay that is generally used for laminate flooring, so if it's cheap enough I might have a look at that as an option.
Did Brunel have these kind of problems?
