Freestanding

I'm not sure whether Kevin McCloud of 'Grand Designs' would approve, but one of the things I've put in place at the 'right hand side' hidden spiral (the Leggistein Kehrtunnel with an extra loop included), is a form of cantilevered 'benchwork' supporting the track. This allows better access to the lower level yard than if I'd supported it on stilts in the traditional manner.


The first of these started out as a foamboard offcut that happened to have a nice curve in the underside, which has been replicated in the other arms.



As can be seen, the tracklaying department is slowly moving uphill after having taken some vacation last week.


And in other news, I seem to be able to get my train up this hill finally! Woohoo!
