It's spring and the garden is awakening to the sounds of birds and trains

 I've now positioned all 17 retaining walls.

When we moved into the bungalow we inherited loads of old paving slabs so I’ve been using them as the track bed. I’ve screwed the track down using 5mm rawlplugs and brass screws.

Looking down the garden. A train about to enter the 'tunnel'.

On the bungalow side of the 'tunnel' I've mortared between the paving slabs.

This is Stoke Works Station. The platforms are plywood templates made to check clearances.

The signal box (re-sited from the SVR) is positioned between Stoke Works Station and the Saltworks Sidings.

The line ends at the summerhouse which is scheduled for demolition next month.
