State of the nation

So after a further day's work this is the state of play.

Earthworks

The fact that our local DIY shop (focus) is closing down spurred me into action.

Firstly I have decided to use the GRS interlink system - http://www.gardenrailsystem.com/typical5.html

So I have purchased enough bricks, sand, gravel etc to complete the line.

Secondly I have started the base earthworks for the line allowing us to plant up the areas not affected by the alignment.

The shot above shows the bricks temporarily laid to show the position of the track.

Concrete will be used to ensure a good base for the bricks where the earth has been made up.
