Was it designed to join
up with another baseboard or has it been modified? |
|
The Footbridge does not
seem to be on the original as it does not fit properly |

** The indentations in the base
moulding seem to be designed for the 'NEW' Series 3 track Electric
Points that were being introduced in late 1957 and fully in 1958. So
1957 would seem to be the date of manufacture of the layout. |
