Getting started

[keithb]

Well I have got myself a starter set, and I am pleased with it so far.
Being of limited funds I will have to get rails and other stuff a bit each month. I have a vision in my head of a truck pulling up under a silo and fish food will fill one of my gravel trucks then it will be transported around my garden onto the side of my fish-pond (koi carp) and the food will be deposited into the pond.
My garden is not very big but I do have an issue with height's that the track will eventually follow. I have found many different pages on how to build a tressle bridge and wooden timber bridges and have given it a go, I have not stained the wood yet, it is still as the pallet god made them (just cut down to size) any comments so far would be appreciated

Great that you've made a start, Keith!
Looks like a couple of sturdy structures that will survive the elements for a good few years.

You could use a tipping truck or two for the koi food delivery, well done with your carpentry.
