Blyth Cambois In 'O' Gauge | Part One | The Diesel Depot Baseboard

Well, I've finally managed to get round to starting my O gauge layout, which will be Blyth Cambois Depot and in this first video, we show the beginning of the layout and building the first baseboard that will be housing Blyth Diesel Depot. The design of the shed is underway with some modifications still to finish, but at least we're on the way.
Baseboard used is 12mm Poplar Ply, which is a light-weight but very strong material and we use this in all of our layout baseboards at DCC Train Automation. Baseboards are most probably the most important part of your layout. Get this wrong and you'll end up paying further down the line (no pun intended) when perhaps its not been made well, using cheaper materials and small battens etc and you have to rip up your layout and start again. Purchasing a professional laser cut baseboard may be more expensive but these will last you a lifetime.
If you need a baseboard and don't want to make your own then click on the link belowand this will take you to the different sizes that we do.
