I'm about to install my platforms and was going to used balsa wood cut to size and shape. My platforms are curved. But you have helped me to discover the Peco platform edges that look terrific. I never knew they even existed. So will use those along with polyfilla. But I will paint the filla as I really like the style of the Peco platform edge, so mask the edges and paint the filla will work a treat. Many thanks for your help with this. 👍

I believe with your platforms being quite long this could be suitable

Nice way to make platforms, my last curved platforms I used Metcalfe kits. The title is mis-leading though I would not call them curved platforms, pretty straight to me.

They are curved just with a very wide radius I can see why you'd say that though as this may not apply to tighter radius curves, thank you for the comment

Nice method and tutorial, they certainly wont be going anywhere! As a slightly less messy alternative I find that Pritt Stick is quite good for sticking down texture sheets. Thanks for putting this together and sharing. Cheers, Dave.

Ah yes prit stick I imagine would be a good adhesive, not sure how well it would stick paper to filla but definitely paper to paper

You certainly have ended up with some fine platforms. I recall Richard at Everard using this method but he used Mod Podge instead of Polyfiller and that was very expensive. Ive found Metcalf kits to be excellent, quicker,cheaper and they seem to last well. Curved platforms are so much more interesting. We are well served in our hobby with so many different ways to acheive our goals.

can i ask what about the weight of the Polyfilla........any problems at all ???. What if you decided to add platform lighting in the future ???
@greatdeltan6556
2 жыл бұрын
No problems, the baseboard is built with 12mm plywood and tight bracing so weight won't be an issue there. I can easily drill the holes I need for lighting when I come to it:)

Hello, before finalising the placement of all platform edges, I run my longest coaches on the adjacent track to ensure clearance is sufficiently
