Hi,
About 50 sleepers were cut and had chairs fitted so, a length of track was laid; my home-made rail bender was used to curve the rail which was then fitted with sleepers. The track was secured to the layout by small screws through some of the sleepers. For a bit of fun, a short length of ballast was laid using paint as an adhesive. A couple of Ffestiniog carriages were run over the track, it is hope to be able to run at least some vintage toys on the layout to this end a test wagon has been made that uses a pair of Hornby tin plate wheels and their axles and a pair of Hornby plastic wheels and their axles. The wagon runs freely on the track with no bumps over the chairs which causes some hope.
Further progress will not be possible until we get back to the UK early in March
