This is a view of the work so far. Working inside to save the back but I am sure you will get the idea.

Peter - I may have missed it in an earlier post, but what are the "cobblestones"? - They look really good and seem like something I could use...

Hi Phil, their from a Jigstone mould I got from Back 2 Bay 6


ID: 5JM8 JIGSTONES COBBLESTONE MOULD

This mould makes a piece about 2 and a half inches square with stepped edges to make up a cobblestone run much like a jigsaw puzzle.






Price: £7.66

Sort of what the final effect will be, I have run out of body filler so must find some more cheap stuff to finish off the yard.

WE have been back to the manic uk recently to see the new Granddaughter but on our return the weeds have had a great time in the sun after the rains of August early September.

Great to have you back, weeds and all....
Actually I quite like the 'overgrown CFD look'....

I have also started on the Big aluminium bridge to replace the plank of ‘decking’, I went to Bricomache to get a few bits of ally strip to finish off but as usual they were out of stock of the two 15mm x 2 mm strips I wanted

Someone else grappling with weeds, it's actually heartening when I see others struggling too!

Love the bridge, Peter

Hi Carl,
The Bridge is 2.7m long 200mm wide overall and 500mm tall on the towers. The track bed is 2 bits of 75mm x 25mm angle held together with ally flat strip all pop riveted together with 3mm rivets. There is a slight gap between the 75 x 25 angle to allow for drainage.
The piers are made from thermalite block cut to a taper.

I am still waiting for Brico Marche to re stock with 10 x 2 mm aluminium strip, I was in the other day and they were restocking the rack but alas no 10 x2 or 15 x 2, one has to be patient in France.

I need to fess up, for my lack of posting. I have been overtaken by rain weeds and lethargy this summer. Co I am determined to put more concrete and membrane down for nest year to try and combat the encroaching vegetation.

Yes its unbelievable the amount of growth that has occurred this year, combined with the rain preventing any work,- I don’t enjoy playing trains in the wet anymore.

Along the lines of Clive my track bed has been invaded by weeds thanks to the wet weather over the past two winters and other commitments. The choice was either to spread loads of concrete,  give up, or move the track indoors, so I decided on the latter.

That´s certainly, err - vigorous - plant growth you´ve got there in the garden. But did I see a little gap in the wall to let you trains back out into the garden from the inside ....?

I feel your pain Peter, such a huge expanse of land to keep clear of weeds. I wish I had some indoor space to do the same, I would have probably done it years ago. Good luck with it.
