, I dug out the ex-County Donegal railcar: ta-daa!
However, there was a snag: length was fine, but width wasn't. So there was only one thing for it: saw the thing in half and fit a strip along the whole length...
Timber braces have been cut and glued in place. The next step is to fit a 40mm wide strip of 3mm ply into the deck. If it was good enough for the Morris Minor, it's OK for me...
