Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies, very encouraging.

A couple of my scratch built wagons were made from balsa wood. I've always made stuff from balsa as I find it a very versatile product. If it wasn't for the fact there there is a lot of kits available I would have made more of my own buildings. Getting too old and lazy I guess.

I may go to Glasgow next year. Will you be going to Dundee next month?

I'd thought about adding ballast to the rails but I know I'm going to change the layout at some point. I would like to continue the layout all the way round the inside of the shed and raise the level up to about 4'. Everyhting on the layout is pinned at the moment so it will be easy to lift off. All the house's have track pins in the corners and are simply pushed into the expanded foam boards. Likewise the hedges, fences, walls, etc are the same, so if need be it can be dismantled in a matter of minutes.

Alex
