have finnished diging the pond and added the liner. filled it with water and ran the pump over night and found the pond half emptied

toped it up and left it with out running the pump and had no water loss so now i have to find where the water loss is. seems to be very damp inside the tunnel

so will have to do a bit of excavation to see where tthe water is goin

There's probably a leak in the pipe by the sounds of it, so it's soaking into the soil.

Now that's coming along nicely Graham, I am looking forward to seeing how it looks in a year or so.

Watching the video gave me a nasty turn at one point, seeing the loco come through the tunnel on its first circuit, and then seeing a dog jump to its feet, I was terrified I was going to witness a loco being attacked by a dog !

Wow! Very impressive railway. What engines have you got besides mamods?

ACLR · Post by **ACLR** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 8:59 pm

I only have mamods at the moment own 6 of them but only 2 ever get a run.

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 9:06 pm

Ok. Mamods are great fun. I know, I've got 2. My friend Sam sparkes surrgests very oftern that a get a Edrig. I would-if my mum would let me.

ACLR · Post by **ACLR** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 9:19 pm

ACLR · Post by **ACLR** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 9:20 pm

maybe I could swap my unfired sl6 for one
but dout it

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 9:24 pm

Hi. I've got the money to buy a Edrig. The problem is that my mum thinks that its a waste of money, and that I shuold stick to what I've got at the moment, which isn't much.

ACLR · Post by **ACLR** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 9:27 pm

typical of mums
I have a wife that says the same thing

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 9:38 pm

Yeah. I'm currently trying to persaude her to let me buy an IP engineering battery loco kit. She's said that if I can make the money to buy it, I can buy it.

Look out for Garden Rail article number 3!

mhlr · Post by **mhlr** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 10:20 pm

I'm getting one this year!!!

Maroon with R/C!!
Matt, tell your mum, from me, that they are not a waste of money and these live steamers hold there value nearly 100%! You see some on Ebay go for the same price as they would be new!!! Anyway, why not buy one if you have the money, if it's your money, it's your money! Do what ya like! That's what I do anyway!
