Afternoon everyone,
finished the bridge last weekend. We replaced and repaired some of the piers, repaired the decking and rebuilt the refugee platform. This bridge will be extended by an extra 660mm with the addition of a girder span. There will also be two more trestle bridges. One 640mm long, the other 1120mm long on a curve. The next thing I plan on doing is constructing the yard. It will be raised to match the height of the bridge using cutdown treated pine posts with a wooden board laid over them. Track will then be laid over the top. The trackplan of the yard is yet to be decided but there will be a siding to connect the yard to the shed. The shed will be a full scale replica of a Victorian Railways 10ft x 8ft portable hut. These buildings where mainly used as yard huts or construction site huts. So slowly but surly the railway is developing it's infrastructure. I will post another update soon. Bye for now,
Ronan.
