Coming along nicely Pete.

I like the bridge. Whenever I get my Garden Railway I need to put in a least one (probably 2) bridges so that I can still access the bit in the middle (probably going to be a small lawn).

Thanks Chris. The bridges are from Garden Railway Specialists, but I think they are rather expensive for what they are. At least my dad bought em for me :D!

Matt: Cheers mate, wait till all the ballasting is done, will look "wicked"! :D

"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

I have nearly completed all the ballasting now, so I got a train running and got the camera out: http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/mhlr/
