Found a few hours today to dig.

All dug out with my little helper.

Few hours today.

Cut the patio so it butts up to the sleepers so I can cement it flush to the rails.

Had to chop out a big tree stump with a stupid axe mind numbing.

Membrane down

Helper getting ballast

All done

Do you live in the UK ? It's just your grass looks nice and dry plus you have some palms there, here in Lincolnshire it's freezing cold and the grass is sopping wet........ jealous

Great effort, next week all the way around at this rate!

[barks]

Yes bud.
Northamptonshire.
Been freezing all day. Those palms were tiny when they went in about 8 years ago.
Grass is covered in sand from a 5m pool all summer

Its been a while.
Sooo busy. Lots of other things taking priority.

Managed to spend a few days on the railway during the last few weeks.

Continued laying track from the bridge.
Getting a little difficult as there’s a small incline back the the start.
Making more sleepers

Laying sleepers and track

Ballast

Now to tackle the point.

Looks about right.
