1Morning all, after more years than I can remember a house move has allowed permission to be granted for a garden / garage railway !
Initially the plan is to build a “simple” out and back return loop around the upper end of the garden, then once the garage has been converted to warm, temperature controlled storage space I’ll be extending one end of the loop in.
Im not appreciating the garage being down until next year, so effort is being concentrated on getting the single line with loops out and back built.
My plan is to use 12mm ply painted in waterproof paint, faced with stripe wood also painted to protect the gain, then seal the edges against the strap and base to prevent water egress. The boards will be sorted on stainless steel or aluminium tube cemented into the ground, hopefully this approach will provide a level and secure foundation for decades to come.
So here we go....
