have finnished diging the pond and added the liner. filled it with water and ran the pump over night and found the pond half emptied :cry:
toped it up and left it with out running the pump and had no water loss so now i have to find where the water loss is. seems to be very damp inside the tunnel :oops:
so will have to do a bit of excavation to see where tthe water is goin :cry:

There's probably a leak in the pipe by the sounds of it, so it's soaking into the soil.

Now that's coming along nicely Graham, I am looking forward to seeing how it looks in a year or so.

Watching the video gave me a nasty turn at one point, seeing the loco come through the tunnel on its first circuit, and then seeing a dog jump to its feet, I was terrified I was going to witness a loco being attacked by a dog !

Hi. I've got the money to buy a Edrig. The problem is that my mum thinks that its a waste of money, and that I shuold stick to what I've got at the moment, which isn't much.

Matt, tell your mum, from me, that they are not a waste of money and these live steamers hold there value nearly 100%! You see some on Ebay go for the same price as they would be new!!! Anyway, why not buy one if you have the money, if it's your money, it's your money! Do what ya like! That's what I do anyway!
