A great start that both you and your dad have done.

Is your dad as ambitious about this hobby as you? The two of you could build alot of great models together.

Joe: Im not sure hes as ambitious as i am but he was an engineer before he retired so he doesnt mind helping with a bit of welding, i think he can see the practical uses of it to do work in the garden

A few updates from yesterday, track base is tacked together i think its slightly crooked so may have to knock it apart and straighten it , still need to find some bolts for the top rollers so i can connect the tracks together.

Dropped the base plate on top to see what it would look like height wise, its made from 5mm steel.



my sister came back just as i was taking photos so i got her to stand on it to show better scale
