  1. You hit the nail on the head Ian...If only I could do that!!...although with this nice weather I am tempted to bite the bullet...it's really what to replace the baseboards with that will last. The track is secured with small brass pins which work well. I am trying to upload some photos but think the files might be too big! Will keep trying...Thanks for the replies anyway...thanks both for your messages...now off to jolly Heathrow to earn a crust for the next dcc loco!
  2. 25 years ago I built a 30'x30' 4 track railway around my garden. It's about 2 feet above ground....wooden posts support 'T' pieces and then 2"x1" pieces screwed to either side of the T pieces. Trackbase was Marine ply and covered in mastic and then roofing felt. Over time I got heavily invloved in boating and so the railway was left to mother nature. Sadly a lot of the marine ply has rotted but the Peco N/S track appear to be in good shape.. I fitted box shape covers over most of the track to keep out the weather but these have suffered badly and had to throw them out recently. The station is 6 tracks wide with 2 platforms of around 8' in length and is covered with PVC glazing as used in house extensions...this has survived superbly. My Question is......Does anyone know of an easy way to lift the track and slide in a new base without the huge task of lifting all the track. A shame to see this go to waste and would love to see the trains run again. My knees are not what they used to be! I am in Farnborough, Hants and if anyone wants to help rebuild and use the railway for his pleasure I'd be glad of the assistance! Thanks Tony
