Hi Guys,
Thanks for keeping the guys informed Craig. Sorry I haven't been on the forum for a while but because of a very late spring and pretty rotten weather up untill a couple of weeks ago I'm afraid progress just wasn't possible.Plus I have been tied up with work and am also heavily involved in political activity here in Scotland right now as we have a very important referendum coming up in 2014 to decide the future of Scotland ,ie ,in or out of the Union with England and the rest of the UK.
I am also just back yesterday from a trip to Bermuda where I was playing at a function related to the Bermuda Highland games. Spent four nights in this top-notch hotel over there, beautifull place and a beautifull island too...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVvRe50daZs , there were also great Royal Canadian Mounted Police pipes and drums, and highland dancers from Nova Scotia and Hamilton Ontario,Canada there. So really enjoyed that.
Anyway all those things have meant not a lot garden railway progress. However theres better weather here now and I have had a day tidying up after the winter so hopefully I'll get back into it shortly. I have had to do some work on the old fence between myself and my neighbour too and am still working on my side before I can complete the trackbed on the final stretch.So thats the state of play. As for the track method retaining water electroliner,
it will depend on the underlying nature of the ground. clay/sand/rubble whatever.
It may not suit every ground type or climate. However I reckon that on well drained ground water retention shouldn't be a problem. At least I have never found it to be. Anyway guys, no I haven't lost interest and fully intend to get back into things as work and time allows. Cheers DAVY
