Hi to everyone,
I have just joined. I am living in the Philippines. This is my first garden railway. Currently, I have a simple end-to-end setup. However I am considering adding an elevated section. Very little product available here so my scenery is based upon natural stone, cacti and lollyice-stick houses!!
One of the difficulties in setting up here is the restriction on the use of wood. This is due to the termites which would chomp through wood pretty quickly. Instead, I have constructed raised track-beds made from scrap metal and supported upon vertical, drain pipes.
So far the heat and strong direct sunlight has not had any noticeable effect upon my LGB track which is mostly second hand.
Am I the only person in the Philippines with a garden railway?
Tim
