And the view under the arch bridge showing the branchline leaving Majestic, heading across the yard.

Yep looking nice! Rock is good! :D :D Most places one doesn't need to scratch very deep and .... there's rock. ;) Unless you live in a swamp, then it takes more digging.

That’s a LOT of work!

JLF,

Work like that is usually measured in tons. :slight_smile:

11 so far.

Bob,

17+ metric tons so far and more being added. Whatever it takes to make it look more like the prototype.

BTW how much do your cast bridges weigh?

This work is tantamount to building the transcontinental railway. Wow! I hope your back holds out. :wink:

Really looking good Bob!

Bob, I only have about another ton I need to move. You are a long ways ahead of me! Nice moving!

Lined, leveled and ballasted the back loop

That looks great :slight_smile:

yeah, Bob, what Jon said… :slight_smile:

That really came out good. When do the flowers bloom?

Those probably won’t bloom this year, they’re all transplanted, or new plants. next year!

That came out great Bob. Is that the stump you had a piece of track? on that you were going to be the high line on ?

The stump is what I had a switch sitting on that Steve F (I think) was asking about. Never intended it to be a high line. I think Ken wants to sit there and watch trains go by.

And I was under the impression you wanted to expand upward so you could call for another truck load of fill :wink:

Yeah until you trip and fall down them steps then try and blame your buddy Ric for pushing you! ;)
