Progress of new garden railroad

Thanks, musicancars - I will try to find that grease you and nick recommend.  1/2 of the track I have is new and completely uncorroded - the rest spent a couple of years getting corroded.  As to the corroded rail sections, their joiners are most likely going to be replaced by a bunch of Trainli brass clamps I am going to get.   I have all of the PVC I should need to make a 22 foot long figure eight and about a fifteen foot spur section to connect with a low retaining wall that goes around the entire yard - that is a project for later, however, lol.

 

Next I have to either get some pressure treated wood 2x2s to use as spacers along the stringers and also as stakes/posts -- or alternately I could use pvc - or perhaps use the wood in hidden sections and the pvc in facing areas - not sure yet.

 

Anyways, I am kind of excited about it even though actual work is on hold until i figure out what to use for spacers and posts.

 

In the meantime, we spent part of Easter working on our AMR RR pet cemetery
