You could collect then
I recently paid them £156 for delivery to Kent. But as I needed 2000 quids worth, they were still the best supplier.

Looking Good, do you have a height for these from the base to the top of the support boards, Might just copy you now I have seen it :) I need to support a semi temp loop behind a garden shed and this looks like away to do it.

Very impressive. I will look seriously at this idea. I do have some excellent lengths of hardwood (about 16ft) in the garage, although they are only just a fraction wider than LGB track, which has implications for curves (and items coming off!)

Maybe we don't have many houses here in Australia with attics/lofts, but turning them upside down and using them outdoors is indeed a very good idea!

Hmmm. Wonder what the UV will make of the plastic?
I had some Plastic Boxes that I use for putting Chock Boxes in for wiring. One out of normal view but in full sun, the other also in full view of the line again in the sun. The second one was Sprayed Matt Black the other was trashed after a year but the Matt Black one is still going strong after 3 or so years.

Arthur, I've printed out some of the information you have brought to the Central site, in case I spot those "stilts" here in Victoria Australia in the near future. Good lateral, or upside-down thinking!
