Construction of the base support has been completed, it consists of a 100mm x 100mm post in the centre and eight 75 x 100 mm treated pine fence posts around the outside. These have "joists running between them on which will support the baseboard.

The next step is to construct the sugar mill which will be on a baseboard seated on the supports over the centre post, from there the rest of the baseboards will be fitted onto which the tracks to will be laid.
I am building from the centre out the idea being that once the buildings are complete there should be no need for them to be accessed unless something untoward happens
Around the bottom of the outside posts treated pine fence palings will be attached to form the boundary of a garden under the mill precinct and also form one side of a pathway around the layout.
A fascia will also attached between each outside post which will further strengthen the whole construction and give a finished look the same as the mainline.
