Troy <br /> <br />No No mate, I do not have ten acres, wish I did I would be a millionaire. Where I live it is on a very swishy man created island (not man made) and I do not even have a back yard, more a series of courtyards. This is why I had to go to MTS as I'm gradually working my way through the courtyards and I wanted to be able to connect all the sections up and be able to operate them from anywhere. <br /> <br />I started with area 2 which is a courtyard containing my swimming pool and I have a very odd shaped track circumnavigating the whole area.(Rhomboid I think). I have travelled a lot in the Orient and the theme is Thai Budhist.I have photographs of similar areas taken just outside Bangkok <br /> <br />We then got into area 1 which is the only real lawn that I have the track runs alongside the lawn into a Japanese Shinto type temple area, which is an MTS reversing loop that works so well you don't know you got it and it is just so unbelievably versatile that you couldn't do it with anyother system. <br /> <br />I am planning area 3 now which will be a plan on page 25 of "Garden Railroading" a folded dogsbone. This will be modelled on the nearby Glass House mountains which were discovered by a fellow pom, our hero Capt James Cook from the deck of the Endeavour at sea. These are really funny, dramatic shapes, Steve Erwins Australia Zoo will be featured as that is where it is. <br /> <br />However I have aproblem in that between area 2 and 3 is the pumphouse for my pool and it is not easy to get past it but my step son who is a Civil Engineer, contributed an idea added to what I had and i'm sure I can make the connection now. He is coming to visit us again for mothers day and between us well get it done, i hope <br /> <br />Send me you email addres if you like and I will send you some photo's. <br /> <br /> <br />Regards; Ian, Kawana Island Tropical Railway.
