Elevated section (and bridge) completion.

The elevated section and the trestle bridge have all now been removed, rebuilt/refreshed and reinstated.
The rail is back on and a train has been run so the railway is back in service.

For a 6 year old structure made from interior grade wood its has held up very well.
Looks quite good, if a bit green in places


Actually lets say its very green in places!

Some of the coffee stirrer cross braces have broken.

The coffee stirrers split at the ends which caused them to fall off but they are still as strong as ever.
The new cross brace in place.

A nice cost of preservative later and it looks nice

Ready to be reinstalled

With track down 'Margaret' takes the first train accross

Posing on the bridge

The track was soon laid on the elevated section and the train run over it several times.

One last picture in the evening sun.
