It has been a lot of work and a long time coming, but this afternoon we closed the loop. Roughly 400 ft of track (and track base!) but it's worth it.
The last section to be built.-

and a video of the final result.
It does show up a lot of clearing up work to be done!

 

[KentKeith]

Cracker - now that's a garden railway, not a model railway layout in a garden

Yes Alan, its good to see all those celcon blocks, can't remember where I got the idea from - it was so many years ago!!

I wonder did you see my Article of a Railway I built at Hertford that was written up in Garden Railway World No.4 May/June 1989? I remember lots of correspondance and phone calls with Tom Cooper as he tried to get his head around what I had done (all due it has to be said to my poor writing skills). Interestingly that issue had a first Review of the Live Steam LGB Frank S as well.

Hi Jon,

Back in 1989 I was living in Japan and didn't get into garden railways until the early naughties by which time I had returned to the UK. As I bought my first G-scale stuff from Tim at Arcadia it could have been him who had suggested the celcon blocks.

 

[stockers]

I do remember your early steps Keith - recorded on G Scale Mad.

 

[PhilP]

So, have you got a free weekend, to come and do mine?

When's the open day?

Well done! Especially working on it this time of year..

 

[stockers]

1. Yes but can you afford the fees.
2. This summer - I'll let you know.
3. Any time of year here.
