A hard day's navvying: First loop

The first bank holiday in May saw me put the first loop around the garden down.  I'd also promised Ann I'd put smoke fluid into one of the locos.  My back was much, much better although Ann did lots of the actual track joining after I just put it down on the ground.

The plastic track joiners came in very useful during this exercise, as did the packs of track supports that I bought as we could vary the height to ensure a reasonable level track.   Achieved a simple loop with a couple of passing loops on the far side near the fence, and some sidings this side.  The flowerbed on the  right proved to be higher than I thought, so track coming off it couldn't go straight onto the decking boards which are up on bricks.  Likewise, the far end of the garden - which I knew was raised and rolling is on a par with the flowerbed.

Saturday - a hard day's work
