Instant roadbed? Sounds like a neat idea...

Jimbo <br /> <br />"Real Men" just lay their track on the grass for temporary measure suggest you do the same. <br /> <br />But in the long run I just love my ballst and the way we have made it look really nice with decorative gravel and small stones. My wife does all the gravel work, so I have found it really easy mate. <br /> <br />However I have read an article in one of Kalmback books about a guy over there in America who is an electrician and he makes his own track support out of three lengths of plastic electrical conduit. He makes a delta out of them with two side by side and the third underneath. <br /> <br />From this he can bend them either around curves or up and down and even support them in mid air easily. I have no idea what size he used I would gues at 50 mm (2") but this is only a guess. Yyou get them to shape before you tie them or even glue them together and then they will retain that shape. <br /> <br /> <br />Reagrds <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Ian; Kawana etc.
