Enjoy watching your videos. My wife was from London. Been here at least three times before she passed away. Her name was Yvonne. I was wondering where you could tell me where I can get the steam locomotive Yvonne and have it shipped to the US.

Ballasting is so transformative. When I fixed my ballast with SBR I put those plastic veg tunnels over the top. The wire supports are easy to manipulate to go over wide or narrow sections of track and allow you to do a couple of metres at a time. Nothing worse than a rain shower washing all the SBR away before it cures.

@peterrobinson6872 Ай бұрын
Your plantings are really starting to come along now; Lookin' Good! I feel that the hill between the station and the quarry would be a good spot for a small forest of pines. Their height would enhance the feeling of the trains being small in the landscape, create a sense of remoteness between the station and the quarry, and be ideal as a view block, (so you don't even see who's standing on the other side).

Always look forward to one of your updates. Like you I use Grano Dust as ballast, I sieve it to 3-4 grades, put the coarse down first and finer layers as I go, all stuck down with SBR. Very cheap ballast, local building suppliers does a 25kg bag for £5.00, I have about 150kg to put down this summer, whenever that will start!
@SouthgateLightRailway Ай бұрын
Yes I might need to get more and think I will use more of the smaller grades.

Nice work on the bridge. Is there a prototype that uses a similar principle?
@Jasper_Seven 3 ай бұрын
Again, I wish I had the vigor of youth, or at least retirement to do a little every day... Two minor decoration thoughts - at the arched bridge (northeast?), at some point I might put in a deep cut lined with stacked flat rocks to create a canyon effect. Then at several intervals along the hillside have some ledges of flat rock out cropping from about 2"-6" high by 16"-24" long for interest and to play off of some of the vegetation. Like some of the tiny vine stuff dripping over, or a dwarf boxwood psudo-bonsai growing out of a crevice... I can't say much more, because I only just finished the last stones of the planter the new layout is supposed to run around last weekend... and I started way before you on my second attempt. Good luck with this year's efforts!

Really admirable work. If you're looking for something to shade the ferns by the filter, or even just to add more trees, take a look at Dwarf Elm.
@SouthgateLightRailway 3 ай бұрын
Hmm some food for thought on that. We have considered putting a 'large' tree in that area. A Dwarf Elm might end up a bit too big if we're not careful though. More research needed I think but good suggestion, thank you!
@philipjames1548 3 ай бұрын
@SouthgateLightRailway I have one I planted 9 years ago, and it's now about 5ft tall. I have done some trimming, but only to limit the spread, not the height. If kept in a large pot, they would be easier to keep under control, sort of big bonsai!

Love your work. Beautiful and impressive. Just a suggestion: At the loop (2min 30 sec in to the video) connect the short stub with the mining lead on the other side of the loop. This will add operating possibilities and will give a good reason for the way you arranged the track. Jerry from Jarratt, Virginia, USA

Would threaded R/C linkage work better than steel wire for the bridge? It would be infinitely variable for fine tuning the length, then add a lock nut to keep it in place.
@SouthgateLightRailway 3 ай бұрын
Not a bad suggestion that. We're currently fitting the wire solution and you really start to get a sense of the strength required for the linkage at this point. A bit of movement with steel wire also provides a bit of give to cater for misalignments, as getting the bridge, counter balance and supports all perfectly inline isn't really feasible.

Try lawn Daisy (Bellis Perennis) you can dig them out of other people's lawns (free) tease out bits of grass and plant them up to fill your bare patch. They are evergreen and start flowering in February. They have worked an absolute treat on my railway, I created a green lane over my road bridge and tunnel. They do like self-seeding here and there and the flowers grow a little larger than when growing in a lawn. Cannot wait for the next episode.
@SouthgateLightRailway 3 ай бұрын
Thanks for the suggestion, looking these up however they might be a little large to be placed this side of the line. We're trying to create a far away hillside that really would need to be much bigger than it really is. So we're trying to find the smallest leaves and flowers possible on the near side of the bank, with larger ones behind it. To trick the eye somewhat. Might work elsewhere however.

Ballasting will be the SBR method, which we hope to show this year. We're just making sure the track is running well first before applying the ballast, as adjusting it after this would be harder to do.
