After a little over a year, the excavation and tunnel work at the west end of my initial track nears completion, and thought I’d share. Plan for now is to put a steel industrial water tower somewhere near the sprinkler pipe, maybe up on the ‘hill’, and to eventually load down the rock with topsoil, etc., so it looks more like an outcropping of rock rather than a retaining wall.
The narrow gauge track you see emanating from the left portal will be cut off at the portal, as all of the exposed trackage is handlaid NS in more of a standard guage scale.
