Looking good Jenny, like you i was always helping my dad and now a days i can turn my hand to anything ,,,,,,if you don`t have a go you`ll never learn 👍👍one tip ,,,,use a old spoon handle to finish off the pointing ......
I have been watching a channel called Lead Foot Mick, who shows videos of his 00 gauge garden railway which is pretty much a shelf type layout fitted to the fence with a shed at either end with a layout in each one with the addition of turn tables to turn steam locomotives in the correct direction for return journeys.
This reminds me a little of my grandfather, who, when complaining about the price of anything, would always work out how many bags of cement that he could buy with the money that the item cost.
Access to the majority of the track is quite important, even when you consider that leaves fall onto the line and there can be even the wrong kind of snow!!
It's c🥶LD out at the moment. Actually a good time to do any bricklaying as, if i remember rightly, the mortar will set slower so more time to correct any mistakes! This should look good once finished as you are not rushing. Saying that though you should aim to be finished with the tracklaying by July as the traditional British summer starts and ends then! 😂

Brave of you to venture out to work on the garden railway in these temperatures!

That's a great system, I may have to borrow that in conversations

Leaf blower / vacuum would be your friend here Jenny
We’ve done all that at the Hoddesdon Model and Railway Club, apart from it was done for a G-Scale layout.

Job made for a Stihl blower (battery rather than petrol)
Looking good, but this wasn't filmed this week, the cement would have frozen! (and so would your back!)
No, we have a few weeks’ work of footage for videos filmed. This was a fortnight ago.
It’s been so cold that I have been staying at home!! I wonder if I was controlling a virus and, therefore, saving lives!!
Garden railway. Brrrr. It’s recently been 0-10°F and we just got about 4” of snow. Midwest US. Ugh.
I want warmer weather.
-10 to -4 C , 1 inch snow/ice on the Cape , so I can't complain 🥶
