With a fine day forecast for Sunday, I made the decision late on Saturday night (while watching the A-league semi-final between Wellington Phoenix and Sydney FC) to remove the stuff at the north end of the garage/layout room (where the tilt-a-door is) and lay down the second-hand carpet I had obtained from Manning Signs.
I sent a message to Tim Stewart and asked for his help and he arrived late morning. I had already removed most of the stuff (shelves and cartons of books/model gear) outside, so it was just a matter of working out how the roll of carpet (see first photo) would go. An hour later the result is as shown the second photo.
An hour later the room was tidy enough to get the Honda CRV back inside.
Looks like I have settled on a 132cm layout height for the base (mainline) level.
I have just watched again (first time for a year or two) Charles Smiley's DVD "Western Pacific - The Last Decade" and looked at some of my extensive Western Pacific Railroad book collection, to refresh my memory of this railroad and how it will play it's part in my Pacific Feather and Eastern, which could have been a alternative name for the Western Pacific. It started on the Pacific (ok, a few miles inland at Oakland on San Francisco Bay), went up the Feather River and east as far as Salt Lake City.
