Hi Andrew,

 

Really great to see Cheddar progressing. Maurice has planned to use a similar method (blue foam) on a couple of Horrabridge's boards to keep the weight down. I think it is a really good way of developing scenery.

 

Kind regards,

Nick.

Good work Andrew. What do you propose putting on top for the soil surface, and how will it stick to the foam surface?

Thanks for the comments guys.

Thanks for the heads up about the ballast gents.

Shame that it's not available at the moment. 

I'm off to Warley this Sunday so will have to keep an eye out.

Embankment is now fully formed and I'm covered in foam granules...
