The final train ran across the PECO/Mamod track convertor piece today and marked the end of an era of terrible de-railments on the Seibiant Hill Railway. It is said that a tear was to be seen in the general manager's eye as the train hauled by visiting Accucraft Baguley-Drewery de-railed for the final time.
So I spent this evening carfully lifting the track on 'Cornel Ty Newydd' and at 'Penrhyndeudraeth Junction', due to the track having batons along the bottom of the sleepers to strengthen the Tenmille track, I have made a start on planeing down a section of wood for the 'Ski Slope' transition from PECO to Tenmille will be made.

"So, which comedian has uncoupled my entire train?!?!"

Look forward to seeing the developments, although no tear was shed here when news came through of the removal of that dogy joint, I think most things I brought down with me in April fell off there at some point!

oh aye! reet grand!SillyBilly wrote:Here we have it!
The transition from PECO to Tenmille, using various pieces of wood, I've created a steep bu short gradient for the trasition. The first length of Tenmille was also screwed down, and tomorrow I hope to finish 'Cornel Ty Newydd' and install the shed point.

Re-layed the Penrhyndeudraeth Siding today, this is where locos are stored when not hauling trains, it use to be a yard with two sidings, but due to clearences I never used both of them also the longer radius points won't allow for it.
Couldn't resist posing a couple of locos for an 'On Shed' shot, look at my new avatar for another photo I took.
