The rockery railway

[Pauly]

The last month Iv been very busy building a 32mm line in my parents rockery. it was an ugly little thing so Iv made it larger and brought in a ton of soil to bring it up to the lever. took a couple of hours to move the stones, they are massive and weigh a ton! <a href="http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/?action=view&curren;t=004-18.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/004-18.jpg" /></a> brought it right up to the Woodrows tracks <a href="http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/?action=view&curren;t=005-19.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/005-19.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/?action=view&curren;t=007-13.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/007-13.jpg" /></a> by the end of teh day it looked like this <a href="http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/?action=view&curren;t=012-7.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/012-7.jpg" /></a> the next day I went an dbought some stones and plants <a href="http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/?action=view&curren;t=Picture036.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/Picture036.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/?action=view&curren;t=Picture040.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/Picture040.jpg" /></a> the day after that I bought more stones and more plants and by teh end it looked like this. <a href="http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/?action=view&curren;t=Picture070.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/Picture070.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/?action=view&curren;t=Picture071.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/Picture071.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/?action=view&curren;t=Picture074.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/Picture074.jpg" /></a> now Im going to let in mature and see what survives the winter before I do anything else with it. <a href="http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/?action=view&curren;t=Picture077.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/steammodel/woodrow/Picture077.jpg" /></a>

I've seen it done Pauly.
The local 16mm group have a dual gauge track with 32 and 45 mm including points too.

I dont wanna do that, Im just gonna leave it its own dependant system.
