What happened at your workbench today?

Not so much on my workbench but around my layout.
I have/had paths mode of decomposed granite (a type of crushed rock) which kept getting overgrown with weeds everytime we had a dose of rain.
These pictures tell the story of what I did to fix the problem.

This is typical of the growth after 3 days of rain.

I chipped the weeds out with a hoe

After I finished chipping and raking up the weeds the paths looked like this,
but if I left them like that after the next dose of rain I would be back to square one.

I laid artificial grass to cover the granite and to suppress any future weed growth.
While I was at it I replaced the old rotting garden edging with treated timber edging.
SWMBO likes it because she can walk in bare feet and not hurt them on stones.

There is an upside to having offcuts of the artificial grass I can use it around my benchwork.
 
Lionelville gets nuked.....

I cobbled this together over the last few days. Lionel Trains produced a nuclear power plant that had action and lights, some years ago.
Here's a video of someone else's Lionel Atomic Power Plant. While the accessory can be entertaining, I found through actual experience that it had some glitches.



So here is my version of an atomic power plant.
