Yes PJ i am but the problem is i work away 5 days a week so cant get much done in 2 days but the ideas ive got it should look awsome Hi John We all have different amounts of tie for our trains, thats life I am afraid but, so long as we enjoy what we do that is all that really matters. Please keep us updated as time allows, we like to share our layouts and ideas on here. PJ Will do i will put a pic on tomorrow when i have most of the balast down. Wow John I think you are very brave! Putting ballast on so early. Make sure you are happy with everything before adding ballast. I would love to add it as it makes the layout look good but, for me, it will be one of the last things I add. Good luck, look forward to seeing your pictures PJ Well PJ I have had this track made up for about a year changing little bits as and when. But it was time to finally put it down so it look better heres a pic of what i have achieved this weekend /media/tinymce_upload/20150222_141549.jpg
