Right... at the weekend I did a bit work on my extension, and after school today I finished a some bits off. So this is what I've done so far...

Don't worry, it will all be backfilled and landscaped! The track grades up to the top of the pond, but it aint anything worryingly steep.

LOL it's already filling up with water with all the rain we're having atm!

Should put a hot tub in rather than a pond.

Yeah it's quite a deep pond, but it's gotta be lined with sand and pond liner etc.

At weekend I rendered the pond with my dad - hopefully it's going to hold water and not leak

, and also backfilled the pond 'walls' and landscapy bits. I also started planting a few plants along the straight section!!

Where the white line is I will cement for passing loop and station platform.

Slate chippings path - Gotta spread slate chippings

You and the rubber ducks NEED to get in the tub when it's full of water before it fills with crap and animals.

this is going well andi doo like the idea of a water fall. how long before the first bath then ?

Looks like I'll have to plumb it into the swimming pool system then!!!

Play trains while having a bath, what could be better

That would be good, but you could always ask a couple of lasses if they fancy a dip in the hot tub, which would be 100% excellent.

Will there be a triangle at the junction to the present loop?

Aye, accept I don't think the trains would be favoured!

Do you mean a triangle where the church is? Yes, there will be one leading accross the steps. Got the signals now for it too thanks to SLRmidge
