nope, its the first one we built  about 3 or 4 years ago.
the mamod track by the conservatory it just there because i had alot of mamod track to see how big i could make a layout. and i just left it there, mainly because its next to the house and when i run at night i can get light from the house,  but the raised one is rite down the end with no light.

BUT

we have started to build our proper railway.

Ooh, a 'proper' railway - that sounds interesting!!  Your Dad mentioned something about it when we met with G&J.  It sounds like it's going to be quite a project.

Good luck with that.  Let me know if you need someone to make the tea
