Yep , 100% correct Pauly as Mell told me when i made it dont use wood it will rot , i did and it did

Total re biuld is in process

so is it just that little sticky out bit that needs replacing or is that whole section of the track bed compromised now?

funandtrains - 14/11/2009 9:22 PM For those people who want stone coursing without the effort of scoring every section if you make the mold from WBP plywood and glue on string for coursing you can then reuse the mold. The easiest way to glue the string on is to cut the string to length then have a small bowl of exterior grade wood glue diluted a little with water which you dip the string in. After the glue is dry paint over the mold with 2 or 3 coats of varnish or paint to seal everything and make the mold easier to remove.
