There used to be a garden centre down near the Kent & East Sussex Railway that did that. They had a railway running through the plant displays and I think did open days, but although the garden centre is still there the railway side of it seems to have disappeared.
It was a visit to Bodiam Nursery in 2013 that got me into this whole 16mm-in-the-garden-thing. They've got a lot to answer for!philipy wrote: ↑Thu Aug 30, 2018 9:02 am There used to be a garden centre down near the Kent & East Sussex Railway that did that.

It seems to be the most likely cause. Out of curiosity I looked at the coefficients of linear expansion for plastics and metals and did some back of the envelope calculations......Soar Valley Light wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 1:47 pm so the suggestion of it being due to differential expansion and contraction is the most likely one in my opinion.
I like that Idea Rik. For the first time in my life, I would stand a half chance of getting a degree!
Surprised me as well. Then I noticed pandsrowe had reported similar results.Soar Valley Light wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 8:01 pm - not that I ever dreamt that it would be such a large movement!
Wouldn't surprise me if getting a good covering of soil and foliage over the Filcris improved things. Moist soil shaded by plants should maintain a more stable temperature.Soar Valley Light wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 8:01 pm It's noticeable that the movement has occurred where vegetation is at it's most sparse coverage.
