As I mentioned elsewhere, I had a LOT of settling. I figured I probably would have a bunch, but not quite as much as I got… While I was at it, I figured I might as well increase the clearances so I could run the downsized Connie. The last time there was a break in the weather, I got the high fill area relevelled using boney, I also extended the edge of the fill to accomodate a couple cabins. Yesterday I filled the hole and put the foundations in
Then I worked on decreasing the grade on the curve by the front of the house. It’s still not perfect, but it’s getting better.
And a new retaining wall between the upper pond and the track. I may face this with ‘ties’ eventually.
Clearances still needed for the connie will involve re-doing one bridge and two tunnel mouths. I also need to relevel the entire curve by the porch - including inside the tunnel. Meanwhile the connie is acting squirelly anyway. I’m considering yanking ALL the circuit boards and putting in an incandescent headlight because the lights seem to be wired backwards (and I didn’t do it!). There’s also an intermittant bind in the drive someplace.
