Try using alignment dowels, I use them for my trapdoor to the loft and it has vastly improved running performance.

well at least the weather is better then last year (better known as the "rain all the time" year)
Well done with getting the track laid . Does it now fully work?

Hello Paul,
Many Thanks for the directions, love the Lay-out. "The Blue-Line Train (SWR - South Wales Rail-way - AKA Slow Way Round) Departing Bridgend Gardens is 1430 hrs to "Mumbles and the Gower Peninsular - calling at "Llantrisant - Port Talbot - Neath and Swansea - Arriving at this Time Next Year" ,
Kind Regards,

The Blue Line garden railway is no more. Sadly the weather these last few summers has finally defeated me. I am however continuing work on my colliery layout.

What happened, did the wood rot or was it too difficult to keep the track clean?

Basically , it was the weather, constant rain , the wood stood up really well and the track also, but the last two summers brought it home to me that a garden railway in this part of the UK (South Wales) is not practicable.
