I doubt you'll find it here. However depending what you want to do with it, I'd try Everbuild Stixall, it works on most stone/concrete/brick surfaces and will even set underwater. It has thick but squashy silicone type texture and can be bought from the manufacturers ( Google "Everbuild" ) or Toolstation ( when they reopen!) or online via Ebay and probably others.

Philip, many thanks, I have tried Evode "Sticks like Turbo/Sh*t" honest that is the name, which works well (sometimes)

In bold sounds very similar except for the underwater bit.

A bit of research and it seems these are a MS hybrid polymer formulation, lots of brands on the market, some are going to better than other, and with slightly different properties, it would seem even a single brand has multiple products, so I will dive into the market, and let you know what I think of the one I buy

The wire safety barrier has been installed and clearance was tested, all is OK.
This is my widest loco and it clears the barrier I used it's measurements to set the width of the walkway.

Nearly had a catastrophe on one of my raised curves over my stream, whilst running my RH Fowler, a little too fas down hill into the curve, and it left the track, luckily NOT falling in the water. I need to drive more carefully, and maybe some type of barrier.

Have you turned the heads of the nails into fancy finials? That's what I call attention to detail!!

Finials!!!
Rik, this is a bush railway it is a sheer luxury getting galvanised posts for the safety rail

Now that I have updated my Blog I may need some expert help on how to group all the posts from start to Stage 1 completion into one area so I do not have a huge list of posts going forward.

I have broken this build into 4 Stages;
*Stage 2 is a town area which is all flat and just involves building something similar to Greg's Melaleuca
*Stage 3 is getting a line back up hill with about half the space used to get it down hill (did someone say Helix???) and
*Stage 4 which is a loop through the shed (a board can be seen in one of the pictures where the propose line will run) with storage under the HO layout.

What possibly can go wrong with all that??

Meanwhile I have something to run locos on even if it is only FWD and REV up and down the same line, although I have considered a temporary switchback to give some interest.
