Rockery Ridge On The Move

[Tony]

In this photo you can see between the red arrows are R3s and that the curve starts a lot sooner than the outer and between the yellow arrows are one of the R2s

 

[Richie]

Cheers for those photo's Tony your line is coming along very nicely did the same thing on my old part of the line with two sets of R3 curves running along side each other .

 

[Richie]

Track turned up this week so i had a chance to get some more work done
Layed the track used some old R3's on the corners but cut the sleepers and bent the rails to ease the curves .
Have also put in the 12v electrics for the lights and signals . Made a start on the planting and putting down the gravel which has a material membrane to keep down the weeds .

WOW Richie what a transformation (sorry long word there)

I wouldn't never have thought such a simple change would look so
Think Sara deserves a real treat for the managment guidence

Looking forward to seeing the station in and the planting mature

When i first built the line round the garden several years ago now Sara said about putting a line along the back of this border but i just kepted the line along the front with the lawn , should have done it then as it's a great inprovement to the line and the border will just have to see what over ideas she has
