Curiosity got the better of me

I'm glad I'm not a cat...

I knew there was a lot of stuff that needed sorting, taking up the space planned for Heath End. After a tentative look at the area, curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to get started on erecting the layout. Over the weekend and the following days, I moved some boxes into the house for sorting, skipped others, and made drastic decisions about Tredethy Wharf. After reorganising the storage shelves, I finally created enough space to start erecting the first baseboard of Heath End.

Then came a game of musical chairs. The remaining boxes were either shoved to the far end of the 'Man Cave,' nearly trapping me inside, or constantly shuffled around as I erected the other baseboards. What fun I had...

It took some time to work out how everything fitted but eventually it all came together. The final task was squirrelling away all the stuff I couldn't/wouldn't dispose of underneath the layout. This includes what remains of Tredethy Wharf.

A bit of a mess - but it's up.

The initial problem I'll need to solve before doing anything else is to improve the alignment of the  track at baseboard joints. The solution may be to install Pattern Makers Dowels to accurately align the track and also to strengthen baseboard ends for rigidity?
