The Ochsenwaldbahn II, it all starts again.

Ah, but are you sure Stocker's hasn't brought 32 mm gauge track by mistake....

Good question, well presented

I think he's safe, as Aristo didn't do 32mm

I can finally see a gap in my busy timetable to get the digger in. So this weekend was a tidy up and the start of the rebuild.

Old route on the left - new on the right.

we are going round the edge of this.

But a bit of testing first.

Finding the time when you have a busy work schedule is always tricky, but you have certainly got things on the move. Hope all the brambles have been tamed.I hade a good few to trim back when I lifted that Railway the other week. Fortunately I did not need to worry about them moving forwards.

and I am happy to say the blinking trampoline has been consigned to the scrapheap.

That looks impressive Alan, a nice long run

That's a shame Alan, just picture you bouncing on it, Navi in hand trying to see the train at the far end of the line.

Looking forward to seeing the progress alan

Trampolines, the scurge of the parenting classes and dangerous to boot. Good bit of junking Alan.

A little further over the last two or three evenings. The ivy needs to be cleared by the digger but I have loose laid the boards on old bricks to check the levels as i need to get down to a 'lawn mower' crossing.

Checking the locos will pull what I expect them to on the new gradients.
The Rugens will do 6 bogie coaches but the little Fransberg struggled with three. The Harz Bulle doesn't seem to care much!

Pics did not appear to work Alan. Have mentioned your decking before, where did it come from? I know it will have been horribly expensive.

Decking from Cladco. 4.2 meter boards are £15.80 but they do charge a hefty delivery charge but I didn't pay that as I had nearly 4 grands worth for a clients job.

What do you mean - 'pics did not appear' - seems OK from here?

They have appeared today so may have been a Connectivity issue. Fransburg looks fine with just 2, or perhaps 2 x 4 wheel coaches and a 4 wheel van?

went a month or two ago!

Digger (and driver - more efficient than me) booked for next week. So I need to get a few things cleared before hand. But rebuilding seems more fun!

Rebuilding the station approach to Wittersheim.
