Last night we made good progress with the ballasting, we managed to get the ballast in and tamped down on the platform line and also the first section of the concrete pot sleepers

 

They make for an interesting track design and I’m glad we included them, once the ballast is glued we’ll add the tie bars which will hopefully make them look more like a track system rather than just 2 rails

Tonight’s work has been to copy (with some modeller’s licences) a drainage channel which takes water from a small drain above which will run alongside the farm lane into an underground culvert.

 

The real this is on a disused section of the Penarth to Cadoxton line and it collects water from a low point in the fields above and directs it into the drainage cess on the south side

 

This certainly inspired us to think about drainage more seriously on the layout as it’s not often modelled
