Hi Guys, thanks for the support. BOB.. as for what trains will be run /British classics, etc., in O scale I have a Britannia class 4-6-2, but thats the only one at present.Which brings me to a possible change in plans vis a vis scales. My intention was to make the layout O gauge ,however ,I still have an abundance of G scale track from my previous garden layout. I currently don't have enough O scale track to go round the garden ,however I probably have enough or nearly enough O track to make a second layout in O . This is an idea that has come to mind as I've been working away at things. I've taken a real liking to the new steam locos in G (estimated at 1/26th scale ,they are BIG) now on the market from PIKO of Germany.They are excellent bang for the buck and superb looking models. The idea I'm toying with is to lift the O gauge track and lay the main circuit in G. I'd then build an entirely new O gauge circuit on the raised back section of the garden in O. Obviously it wouldn't be as big ,but if built as I have it in my head it would be far more scenically intensive, It would be built using a different track laying method too which would see it take shape much quicker. Anyway ,thats the idea currently floating in my brain. The alternative would be to keep the main layout O gauge and do the second layout in OO/HO, however I think if anything it will be G and O gauges . Anyway whatever, I'm currently workin on finishing the pond. Tested an old pump from my previous pond and its working fine ,so am in the process of installing it. The intention is to have two sources of waterfall. One from the top header pool (already in place) and another one adjacent and lower down ,. Should look good once done. However achieving good results takes time and a lot of stone and cement work. Has to be completely leak-less or its a waste of time and effort ,so slow and carefull is the name of the game.
