Fairy Wood Light Railway

Double track, build two loops so you can run two trains on their own lines.

Ermmmm I don’t think the (CEO) Anne would like that, but I do have half of it built already don’t I...... :thumb right: :thumb right: Might just drop it in conversation....

Has promised some photo’s of the stepping stones for the garden, I was going to lay them side by side, as they are advertised by Homebase has railway sleepers, but I got these cheap from a store in Southport that is closing down, only £3.48 each...I think they will be ok, they are rubber, so hopefully no slipping issues.....

[FWLR]

They only had these 9, they are normally priced at £9+

If those are made for the job they should be much safer in use than timber. The enhanced grain pattern will help with grip.

A few photo’s of my promised Rolling Stock Box, the last photo has a divider in it, not sure wether to go with it or not.

The boxes are sealed with Teak Oil.

Total cost with one board of 405cm x 810cm, (i had all the rest) was £10.00.

Going to a one day show on Saturday in Southport, so I will see what kind of response I get, I will be making some more for my other stock...they do keep all the dust and other stuff of them...

They look rather good. I need to think about doing something similar for my stock as I am rapidly going off using plastic crates and bubble wrap. It seem that no matter how careful you are things still get damaged.

What?.... Grass but no ballast! What is the world coming to?

They look good. Agree with Jim, I need to do something here, storing tippers 3 high on top of each other is a disaster waiting to happen.

Sounds familiar

Knew I forgot something....lol.

[FWLR]

After forgetting to ballast the track on the Rolling Stock Box and feeling a bit better after my little setback with my health, i have finally finished the box with some ballast and a little bit of an update on the sides of the divider and side walls of the box.

Looks better i think, when i can get to the shed, i will paint the stops on the track a dirty brown to try and make them look like wooden planks hopefully.........

[bazzer42]

Got yourself a micro layout there Rod. Nice job.

[Big Jim]

Spot on.

[FWLR]

Thanks guys.. :thumb right: Now the CEO has asked me to make something for the Daughters...a Christmas Box for the Grandkids for Christmas Eve...
