It's your eyes you've got to please so if you like it go for it.

The forecast has turned out to be right - sunny this afternoon, so no excuse, I've started to construct the second pond crossing (loosely based on the Niagara Falls Whirlpool bridge)

Been busy building the tunnel section today - whole new meaning to 'Box' Tunnel.... must get some mirrors in place for IKB's birthday!
Decided to use some off-cuts from my trackbed treated timber for the sides & roof.... taken on board a previous thread about arms length access
Then painted with creosote and shrouded in plastic before entombing the lot... more pics to follow whilst the weather holds!

must upload a bit of video footage.
