Can I fit track on the edge of a baseboard?
When planning a model railway, there's no rule telling you where you can and can't place your track, after all, it's your railway and you're free to do whatever makes you happy. But when it comes to whether or not you should position a track along the edge of a baseboard, most modellers choose to place the main running lines a little further back to allow for scenery on both sides of the track.
Having said that, the leading edge of a baseboard can be a good place to cram in an extra siding without taking too much away from the diorama. If you decide to do this, the main advice would be to make sure you have some sort of lip on the edge of your board to avoid expensive models falling to an untimely demise should they get knocked over.
