well sort off i put some small stakes in, to then nail the track too. then used rowlands mix but mixed in some post mix i had left over instead of cement. put it on the track and gave it a soak with a watering can, this seamed to work well. then i brushed it out with a wallpaper pasteing brush (post mix it what you can buy to put posts in for fenceing its cement sand and graval but goes off very qwick when you put water on it normaily goes off in 15 mins)

I haven't updated this in a long time and my railway has changed a lot some things iv made have worked outside and survived all off what the best and worst of what the British weather can through at it.Some of the other materials iv used haven't worked so well and things have been blown off come unstuck etc. but I think that's all part of the fun
I have still got to finish the brewery it doesn't need a lot windows finishing and the roof. the windmill has been completely rebuilt it got stuck on the washing and fell too bits its now a few old bike parts an old wheel provided the main bearing and a old rusty sign was used for the sails/blades a few other bits I found in the shed where used
it now spins around rather well in the very slightest wind. the scrap yard with the traction engine etc is coming on well but needs regular weeding in the summer .the coal mine is rusting up well and is looking good now its weathered in. I placed the rest of the buildings I made in place but they do need a bead of black mastic around there base .
