Laying new line begun

Just the yard section so far but it is a start. Posed my ol’ Nw2 for a few pics. It should go quick as the roadbed is all in place. Accucraft code 250 SG track w/1:32 ties not the 1:29 and SVRR #8 switches.

Chuck, Foundation? In this part of the RR the line is raised 24" …4x6 posts, 2x12 backing lumber then filled to within 6" and topped with stone dust. That wall has been there for 20 years now. After many years of fooling around I’ve discovered that the best solution (for me) is simple stone dust road bed and Split-Jaw clamps and let the thing float. When the ballast moves out I just sweep it back in with a kitchen broom or a brush around the switches.

Oh that looks fine Larry! I really like the weathering on your cow-calf diesel too.

Well the main loop is done…13 switches 520 feet of track. Gotta work on the boat now Seed pods every where which the leaf blower will take care of. Switch throw thingies on the way other wise we could run. The mainline is 330feet so the rest of the track used so far is sidings and passing sidings.
