Trackbed Completed

Over the last few days the trackbed has been completed and a coat of preservative has been put on it to protect it. Now there is just the top layer of preservative to be put on and then the track to lay and the loop of the railway will be complete.

Work in progress and the beam is leveled and the legs are driven into the ground. No concrete as I dont want to damage the roots of the shrubs.

The beam from the trestle bridge in place and leveled

The other beam is getting its wooden trackbed fitted

A small gap

A visitor overhead. We live near to North Weald airfield and it is not unusual to be buzzed by spitfires and gnats.

All in place and waiting for a coat of preservative.
