+RonC Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I decided while the nights are too light to rebuild my obsy. I had restricted views SW,S and SW due to the obsy being in the way, even though I built a sliding roof! I have turned it 90' and can now (or will be able when finished) to move the obsy 2m away. Quite a big job, I had to widen the base and realign the tracks and all this in between rain showers! My neighbour helped mount the shed part onto the base and after re aligning the doors I managed to lock it up. All done for today. Photo's to follow....

Popular Post +RonC Posted June 27, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Some photo's of todays 'action'! The starting point. Shed part taken off and wheels removed from the roof section. Platform widened and track repositioned Shed lifted (with a neigbours help!) and reposioned. Doors adjusted and the roof fixed on. Still some work to do and extra track to lay (for another day!!)

BAZ Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Well done Ron. Knowing how you like railway's, you could extend the track right round the garden and do tours! 😁 +Glafnazur and +RonC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Just added some 'runners' in the tracks to keep them clean and tested all the electrics etc.. Now I need a clear night (for only a short time!) to Polar Align and re focus then we're all done!! 🙂 Edited July 2, 2022 by RonC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
