As discussed in another post here is the updated track plan: the top loop (without spiral) has been completed and the right hand spur (30ft viaduct) has largely been completed without track on yet.





I have decided to remove the track i first laid and lay it in a more permanent manor which i have yet to do because the left over track has gone into completing the upper loop

Some recent shots of the developing scenery, i doubt i will do much more this year due to the shorter (and colder!) days so ive got plenty more to do next spring

Well done Joe, you have done lots since the last posting. The raised ground and planting look just great and will soon spread amongst the rocks.

I agree - it's going to look fantastic!

Those plants will soon develop and by next summer it will look lovely and green. The row of houses off in the distance looks great also.

Nice work Joe. Those rocks look like they have been carefully and thoughtfully arranged. It's effort that has paid dividends. As others have said, the planting should fill out very nicely next spring.

I'm also very impressed with the standard of construction (and materials used) on your raised sections of track.

Good effort chap!

Thank you everyone for your comments, i cant wait to see what it will look like in the spring, i must say a friend did help a lot with the track bed construction which i am very grateful of , 2 heads better than one and all that
As ive now got a bottom loop operational the next aim is to make the all important spiral! thats going to need a lot more track and soil though but as you may be able to see from some previous photos the posts for it have already been postcreted in so we will see how long that takes to finish.
Many thanks
Joe

Equally impressed with your efforts Joe.

Looking forward to video of trains running along the viaduct
