The Forest Railroad

Two large trees in a neighbouring garden were trimmed quite a bit last week which left a fair bit of sawdust and branches about, so started to clear it up so that the new lgb steeple cab set could use the freight siding.

Since the outside loop was first laid, the cross over into the large loop and access to the wood yard sidings, has always been problematic for larger stock. so today I decided to re lay the track with some flexi track bringing the line around the curve. Then move the cross over more to the left, just need a point to re connect them. larger trains now can run a lot smoother.

Bit of a mini American run today

The plan was always to have an American siding at the front of the layout, so today a spare slab was laid , r5 point inserted , track connected and buildings put in place. I have a piko American station building that will be placed on the corner of the outside line when I get around to assembling the kit!
