Lazy Grange Bay 3...a new start

That's a nasty blind bend there, Mike, I think you're building your very own Accident Blackspot....

Lovely piece of work though - how do you get that thick board to curve so cleanly and keep its shape?

Probably using hot air to make it malleable.

I can't see any big G-Scale trucks or buses going around those R1 street corners!

Thanks guys. I used a paint stripping hot air gun.. very very sparingly.and slowly bend it to shape when warm..used speed clamps to hold it in position.while it cools/sets... still spring out a bit.. but I can glue it in place.. I checked the bends re vehicles... test fitting out side
Hope to start fitting it in today weather permitting

And they certainly do! It just gets better (and better!). The Cenotaph looks to be ideally located, the car looks great and the post box too. Always uplifting to see your work.
