Thanks all for the replies. 'Things at home' have kept me out of the garden the last few weeks.

I have decided to investigate the EPL system, I like the options and the simplicity of the system. Just have to figure out a way to wire everything... Takign the rabbit teeth into account...

Henri, do you not remember my Plastic Ducting for Wire Suggestion? To be fair you have had tons of ideas sent your way. Look at my recent post of my new station.

@Frank: thanks, I'll PM you.

dunnyrail : seen your plastic ducting. A very smart solution, but I can't seem to figure out how to fasten it to the ballast so the rabbits won't drag it all over the place and to me it looks out of place on a feldbahn / tramway. Maybe if I paint it 'concrete gray'... But still have a challenge to fasten it...?

Frank Gallagher I cannot seem to start a conversation with you?

Anyway, here is what I wanted to send you:
Hi Frank,

Thanks for your offer. Is this a timer I could use in an LGB EPL layout?

Complete novice here!!

You could Raw Plug it to the Bricks then short branches from that to where the Wires go a bit like I have done, the the Branches would be held in place from Bunny attack by the Wire at both ends. Other option might be to bury Bricks or half brickes in the Muck and Raw Plug to that. Sure a solution with occur.

You could screw something like plastic or aluminium under sleepers like a horizontal arm extending away from the track to screw the ducting down to. This could then be covered with ballast to make it 'invisible'?

Thanks all for helping with suggestions!

I have this kind of ballast... Rowland's mix... Looking VERY good but how to add 'something new' to it? So it will blend into the ballast/bedding... I know it is just luxury problems, but I want to keep this look. (Much more pics in the Rabbit Hill Tramways thread)

Ok so you have used Rowlands mix,mmakes things easier than I thought. Just make a narrow line where the Trunking will go with say an old Screwdrpriver or Knacked Chiesel. This should give you a slight indentation to seat the Trunking. Dig out a small hole every foot or so say 2-3 inches squar and around 5 inches deep. A piece of Pipe or Bulb Planter should do that readily. Fill with cement and put a Plastic Rawplug in so that the rawplug is on the surface.

To fit trunking, drill some small hole in the Trunking (to match your Rawplugs) and screw to your Dried Rawplugs in the Cement. Simples and Bunny Proof. Repair the Rowlads mix where needed.

Oh and do not forget to spray the Trunking Mat Grey with a Rattle Can before you start.

[Henri]

Sounds like a good idea..!
