A big update

The sleeper bed is in. Been filled with all sorts of rubbish. Recycled concrete blocks for track bed. Rocks for rockery, also recycled from various sources. A station has been built, a bit of track layed and a few trees and other shrubs planted.

You can't upload pics. You have to host them somewhere, then link to them using the [img] tags.

Very smart looking trackwork, great work indeed. I love the choice of plants too, thats going to get better and better as they mature.

Thanks chaps. It's all done on the cheap, the shrubs brought from car boots , lots of clippings taken for extra plants. Garden railways don't have to be expensive in that respect. Just the track that is costly.

Max,

James is absolutely right. This is super work and has enormous potential. It was definitely worth the wait for the photos!

Iam pretty pleased with what I've done so far. Being built up from nothing to putting in the sleeper bed, to slowly landscaping the area, I've enjoyed it every step of the way. Just need more track, some more buildings, water fall to put in, about two ton of top soil and I am there. And the final stage will be to ballast the track, what can be seen in pictures is just experimental attempts at ballasting. Thank you all for the encouraging comments.
