    Hi Richard,
    Thank you yes we had a lovely day the weather was great like a summer's day here and a good days steaming was had by all very successful and loved our track as apparently there isn't many garden railways with a figure of eight so that was good according to one of our members and a track you have to drive your l ocos. on Looking forward to the next one now.And eventually our official opening day where people can come and visit
    Regards,
    Gloria.

    Hi Clive,
    Yes I agree the weather is changing summer won't be long:faint: he he everything takes time and planning but I expect you will get there. We laid our railway on blocks easy to take up can't think of the name of them they weren't breeze blocks but a softer cement block also cheaper. Don't know if that helps they are so easy to cut with an old saw.
    So sorry I didn't see this post until this morning still trying to find my way around the site.
    R ehgards,
    Gloria.

    Hi Gloria, yes I am already using those blocks for my trackbed - I believe they are called 'Celcons' in this country, or 'Hebel blocks' down under :)

    Hi Clive,
    The ones that we got are called Thermolite I just asked my partner. Easy to saw and lay hope that helps. Good luck with your build once the weather gets better as its typical March weather in like a lion out like a lamb she says he he:giggle:
    Regards,
    Gloria.
