Model Railways
The Garden Railway - 2019 - Both Levels Completed
Both levels completed.
All gaps filled with expandable foam, this also helped to bind the blocks, this was my job.
The foam has been smoothed.
The start of a path around the outside. With the strut bridge in situ.
Starting to sort the inner garden out ready for grass seed.
I have painted the blocks with masonry paint,
We had decided to cap the blocks with marine ply for a better finish.
I made this basic flatbed wagon to mark out the wood for the curved tack.
The marine ply with its recommended 3 coats of yacht varnish being marked out for the curves, these were cut with a jig saw. The straights were cut on a bench saw.
Chris fitting the boards before screwing them down. The varnish didn't look right so I painted the boards with 2 coats of paint over the varnish.
The boards almost ready to be screwed down.
