looks good so far, just make sure that you've got a very solid trackbase. You don't want the track to "heave" after the first heavy frost, not after all the hard work you've put in.
so when is the first open day going to be? can I bring 'Green Earl' along? It'll be interesting to see how far round it'll get.
:lol:
seriously, nice job. I hope it brings you many hours of enjoyment.

good point! not much chance of 'Green Earl' getting a run on that line then, unless the MNGR starts making serious profit of course. :lol:

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 :cry:
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 :oops:

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 !
