Track clamping progress

LGB track

For the editor of Garden Rail, I'm pretty hopeless at getting my own tiny garden line working, and more importantly keeping it working. 

However, there has been some progress. Our aim is to put track clamps on all the joints, with ease of maintainence in mind. To this end, the curve nearest the house has been lifted, old ballast cleared away and a new slate wall built to keep the plants and earth back. 

It looks pretty, but now we've come to relay the station, the two halves of the oval don't line up. It seems that fishplates allow for bodgery that track clamps don't, and so it's time to have another look at the geometry. I think AnyRail will be coming to my rescue...

At least next doors cat is being kept amused!
