Tumble Down Falls

In two different post, I asked about fixing ballast and how support 'hanging' track. After thinking about dunnyrail response about concrete I went for that, and the use of SBR to hold the ballets, this is the result of the trial:

So to the expanded railway, as most of you will know slabs laid, and here are some photos:

The new junction:



A view up the track:



The track approaching seat corner, notice the track each side of the leg to ensure a better curve:




Round the bend, this will lead to a 'dog bone' return circle:




A nd finally a view back down the track:

Very good JimmyB , you are heading towards a system that could work for Timetable Operations.

My disused line "The Old Strawberry Line" has been "made presentable" in preparation for being abandoned:



My new Strawberry Junction now just need signage:

With some subsidence on one of the gradient, remedial work was required. After track removal and ballast clearance the surface was piped and then levelled with mortar.



The track replaced, three fixed point, yet the original track had to be "jiggled" to fit. A couple of wagons run over yesterday, but today before re-ballasting, I will need a few test trains
