If you’re thinking of building a baseboard for your model railway but think it’s too complicated or difficult watch this.
Grab your drill, saw and wood and jump right in, you’ll need just basic handy man skills.
If this still seems too much, see my previous post How To Get A Baseboard For Under £30 and you can dispense with the manual work and just get on with building your layout. Alternatively, check out my Top 5 Must Read Books For Model Railway Beginners.
Andy is a lifelong modeler, writer, and founder of modelrailwayengineer.com. He has been building model railways, dioramas, and miniatures for over 20 years. His passion for model making and railways began when he was a child, building his first layout at the age of seven.
Andy’s particular passion is making scenery and structures in 4mm scale, which he sells commercially. He is particularly interested in modelling the railways of South West England during the late Victorian/early Edwardian era, although he also enjoys making sci-fi and fantasy figures and dioramas. His website has won several awards, and he is a member of MERG (Model Railway Electronics Group) and the 009 Society.
When not making models, Andy lives in Surrey with his wife and teenage son. Other interests include history, science fiction, photography, and programming. Read more about Andy.
