    • To clarify, I use 25mm L-section raw aluminium for this.  I think I said somewhere in the past that I used 15mm aluminium L section, so apologies if anyone has bought the incorrect materials, it's definitely 25mm. Also I think that is 2mm thick so that is 6" in scale which is reasonable for the type of wall being recreated. 
    • Not much to report. I've cut the roofing felt to fit between the aluminium L-section. I've also managed to collect 5x 2l drinks bottles and cut them to provide some cover, they seem to have stayed on despite the windy weather. I think that is helped by the lip created from the overhang on the L-section. I stuck an old Joueff Mk3 under them to see if it got wet and it didn't. I've reclaimed a full length of flexi-track from elsewhere and cut that to fit in place of a broken one. Next job is to solder it in. Some repairs to the staging sidings are necessary but it looks like I may get a train to run before the end of the week.
    • The station is a masterpiece! I had to go back and watch a few of your earlier videos. The track-work has certainly improved, you have a very impressive garden for a railway.
    • I used Gorilla Heavy Duty Grab Adhesive 290ml. https://uk.gorillaglue.com/gorilla-heavy-duty-grab-adhesive/ I've also cut up some 2 litre drinks bottles to create a cover, but unless I can harvest some on recycling night from other people then it may take a long time to build that enough.
    • Your station is very impressive and looks extremely successful from every perspective. It's a real masterpiece.
    • Interesting approach. May I ask what kind of glue you used?
    • Superb! Lovely views along the track and the station is amazing. Some of the views that you have posted are very reminiscent of Trevor Jones's railway - I am loving it!

      It looks very smart and the length certainly adds to overhaul look. You should be very pleased. I am saving for a couple of coaches as they are as expensive as the locos were a few years ago. I feel that the hobby is for the collectors these days not the model railways runners. The seasons been a wash out this year.
      We had a run up to Chester to see Making Tracks 3. Very impressive and like you running full length sets. Had a great day there talking to Pete Waterman and sitting by the river with an ice-cream

      Hi all, though you might like my video of my Blue Pullman set. It's vintage Triang Hornby (Couldn't afford the Bachmann one!). Runs really well. I just love the blue and white livery!

      Hi all
      I know this has probably been asked before but what is the best track for garden use?
