Lets talk weather

No progress has been made on the railway mostly due to the weather but also due to other commitments like going to the BTCC at Snetterton and having a meal on the train at the Great Central railway with my daughter as part of my birthday present.

I will be doing a proper update soon and adding pictures from my holiday as well as from the great central soon.

Another gap bridged.

The new removable bridge has had plank work added to it and received a good coat of preservative. It will eventually get handrails as well.

The new bridge in place complete with trackwork.

No. 2 gets the job of testing the bridge, she approaches with caution

On the bridge and everything is fine with the low slung buffer beams easily clearing the planking.

She ran right across to the current limit of the line.

The rails are held in alignment using an old OO gauge trick with stiff wire, in this case the shanks of pop rivets, in copper tube soldered to the rails.

The last bit of trackbed is now being constructed and will be a wooden beam supported on posts so that it will not interfere with shrubs I already have in the garden. Pictures and progress, as always, will follow soon.
