The only upside to that is you may be able to get a few nice atmospheric photos of your locos running, but other than that, Good Luck! :?

My ponds on the railway were VERY high with the overflows at full capacity! Although the rain has stopped now thankfully.

Hmmm, Prehaps you can see this as an engineering challenge- new drainage!
Although I doubt that G scale drainage works that well for that amount of water!

Seem to remember that's happened before though Pauly and it drains away OK?

There's a chap on GSM who has a stream through his garden which floods reasonably often- funny enough, he doesn't have any ballast or much in the way of buildings- having watched a couple float away previously!
