Got some ballast down and one leg of the wye level.
Edited for typo
and one keg of the wye level.
I’ll drink to that 
Great minds drink alike. 
Cheers

Wye ballasted as far as I can get now. Continuing around the corner, need to finish the rockwork here before I add fill and ballast. Majestic Colliery will go a couple feet past the end of this track.

Bob, nice progress on the second keg!
(ok, sorry…)
Your drainage looks well planned, I’ll look forward to seeing how it stands up to a serious storm. I’m sure it’ll do well. How did you line your drainage tunnels?
The border rockwork is excellent; it looks like you’re mortaring all that, right?
Anyway, this new section is starting to look like it’s been there forever, a natural feature allmost. Wonderful job.

Gosh Bob;
I think you really need to put a keg near the end of one leg of that wye (for the train crew and any thirsty passengers), and maybe a hog’s head - just for the train’s hogger! It’s looking great.
Best, David Meashey
P.S. Of course, I would prefer a keg of birch beer, but I’d settle for root beer (Snoopy can’t be wrong)!
Stepping stones and ballast done at the wye.
Temporary track at the mine end to figure grade.
And the new box supports for the existing mine.

Is that dill next to the lily’s or is it ornamental grass ?
This looks great, Bob! Your plan for drainage (if I remember correctly) intrigues me. The cast viaducts are an awesome touch.
