Building an embankment

[dunnyrail]

Laid the ballast and gravel on the embankments, all that is left to do is put gravel across the creek bed area.
As I have a gravel train I'm considering putting in a siding for a gravel pit probably on the garden side.

Looking the real business now, it is often difficult to imagine how things will look when near to completion but clearly you had a good idea what you wanted to achieve and by the looks of things have made a great job of it. Often from adversity (sinking ground) comes triumph.

Thank You.
I must admit I did need a kick along to start adding scenery so this was it, the lattice panel nearer the bridge has a slight sag in it as well so I will level up the track there in the future.
Adding the gravel pit siding might sting me into action there and seeing as it is heading towards the end of summer the weather may be more work in the yard friendly.

Looking really good, very impressed.

Laid the final bit of gravel this afternoon to complete the creek bed so I am calling "It's Finished!!!!!!!!!"
The only thing left is to reconnect the points to the control servos but that requires new rods as they are at a new height.
