A Coopercraft...It's straight onto the concrete.<br />A Coopercraft wagon and a Binnie Skip. All quite lo-tech as you might expect.<br />CFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293175883157636914.post-57345551509599673092015-04-04T12:42:41.738+01:002015-04-04T12:42:41.738+01:00Well I suppose at least building a garden line und...Well I suppose at least building a garden line under those conditions is a challenge!<br />Have you put anything between the track and the foundation (wood or whatever) to screw the sleepers to or are they fixed directly to the blocks? It looks like the latter in the photo.<br />Good idea to use up stuff lying around as it has the dual benefits of saving money and getting rid of junk.<br />The little loco certainly looks good out there, must admit that the closest I ever got to a garden line was in the little back yard when we lived in Eastbourne with the LGB stuff I bought with the winnings from the Continental Modeller Cup draw one year but I never fixed it down out there as I suspected the local scrotes would climb over the wall and either smash it or nick it.<br />I suppose I could do something here on the balcony outside the living room window but I don't think my vertigo would cope and it would probably get covered in pigeon poo.<br />Watching with interest....have you built anything for the loco to pull yet?<br />Stig.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
