Station build from scratch

Must admit 99% of the praise should go to ianS as he was the inspiration and the supplier of the plans :D

But i will happily take the 1 % :D

Steve - 21/11/2009 6:04 PM Inbetween gluing tiles also made another concrete section for me replacing me wood Viaduct
</p><p>This... err... viaduct Steve. Do you have a mould? I know you made some massive curved sections but I haven't seen this thin section before.</p>
 
L.N.R. - 7/12/2009 2:54 PM <p>Steve,</p><p> Do you guys have fly screens over there, made from very light aluminium section, with a rubber/plastic keystrip that you roll into it to hold the poly screen in place.</p><p>Grant.

Suppose it's not bad for a southern jessie:rolleyes:







No Actually I'm very envious, I could be tempted to change outline. But your safe

Suppose we'll have to give it 15 out of 10:bigsmile::thumbup:
 
Hi Kiddo,

Once again it looks as though you've been a busy bunny:thumbup::clap:

Notice that you have used a long piece of decking for the platform - will the platform be in a shady or sunny part of the garden?

May seem a silly question but did the same as you are doing (although I did not cover the decking with roofing felt) when I first laid some platforms........ the platforms in the shady part of the garden were screwed into the aerated blocks and are still in place 5 years later.....the platforms in the sunny part of the garden were got at by the sun and were all warped and unusable by the end of the first summer!!

And it does, Good Job there Steve. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
WOW Steve!

Beautiful work, I hadn't come across the original post :admire:
I only take this sort of trouble with my wife's dolls house fittings.... where they are safe from the elements (apart from dust).

Congrats
Rob

p.s. Perhaps you can advise me on how to adjust my (cheap brand) bandsaw - I simply cannot cut a straight enough line to use on detailed work - always veers to one side or the other :rolleyes:

The band they come with is about 6 mm exchange it for at 10mm blade then all your cuts will be straight:thumbup:
