I used 24 inch tracksetta curves, though I recently had to make an adjustment to this area, I've found it's been a bit troublesome with some locos , long term I might need to widen this area. You can see in the pic where the track used to be. I think the issue was uncoupling and derailing by coaches etc as loco was coming off a curve into an opposite turn all in one motion.

Yeah the garden is massive but unfortunately runs at a gradient throughout. Have a few ideas for extending it in the long term but there might be a bit of digging required.

I've been busy of late trying to get this project finished. Been getting an extension built on the house so I managed to recycle a lot of the rock that was dug up and use it to make the track look less suspended. Furthermore I've managed to convert the area next to the railway into a wee play area for the kids, and hopefully weather permitting can get track cleaned and trains running in next few weeks. Here's a few pics of how it's looking. Next job to clear out the greenhouse!

Here's a few more pics, mostly screenshots from videos. My camera on phone isn't the best, has dirt stuck in it so not as clear as it could be. They are from various stages over the summer and autumn. Went out the other day to find the local deer have been eating my plants...

Here's a few more updated pics, I've been trying to work away over lockdown on the landscaping, 30 bags of soil went in to the main section to bring it up to a higher level, I had a garden gazebo that had been wrecked by high winds so I cut the patterned curves from it and painted them with hammerite to make the bridges. They probably aren't perfect scale wise but I think they look quite good. Been plodding away all summer when I get a moment, planted a few plants in the rockery so it's getting there..
