Hi,
After three months with the help of my wife and a friend part of the track bed of the Rhydypenau Garden Railway has been replaced. The part of the garden where the track bed had deteriorated is always damp and does not get direct sun light. After many years the mineral felt covered plywood had delaminated. Rather than replace the track bed with a similar construction wooden batons were used.
Take care Tony.

Hi Tony,
Thats a brilliantly laid track and it looks so much better in my opinion. I really like your lift up tracks too, brilliant.
Is that one of those Hornby locos and is it 32mm gauge
Take care and stay safe.

BTW Tony. Thanks for you very kind help with that spur gear problem of mine.

Both the locomotive and the rolling stock are modified toys. The locomotive is a Chuggington character known as 'Brewster' bought in a charity shop. The carriages are from the Peppa Pig range of toys and known as: 'Miss Rabbit's Train', some were bought in charity shops, others on eBay. Home made '0' gauge chassis have been fitted to them.
