I am in the process of building a 6pocket set based on the Como pockets. The smaller pocket aprons I have worked out . the large ones have internal counterweights, how do they work. looks like the front of the pocket floor has a cutout for the counterweights? I might add I have already built the pockets so any work will be difficult!!I am building a Sn3 portable layout for the local Exhibition in early June, about 3.4m long and650mm wide in 3 sections called South Park So I am compressing things a bit! I don't think the purists will like me. That will do to start. Paul Richie Ballarat,  Vic. Au
