Like the use of gabions - you must be a pioneer in the use of them for a garden line. Well thought out! In the full-size version, Irish Rail have used them on a section of the Sligo line to hold up the track and ballast.

Another great thread Don. Thanks for sharing.

The track from the Warfe has reached back this far,

Gabions have also been placed to keep stone heaps back in the narrows there
thats Eric casting his beady eye over them
track supplies are the only thing holding up progress now

The arrival of the better weather has increased productivity at Wharfdale
Aligning the track, before cementing in

Else where the work gang fled when they spied Anna under the wagon

Ekk - run

 

[Granitechops]

Mortar mix poured & dried

so test track, with skips first

 

[Granitechops]

Then test with longest, widest wagon , the crane jib carrier wagon

 

[Granitechops]

Now whats this

 

[Granitechops]

Its Bill, looks like he's counting wagons, very demanding job, needs to sit down to concentrate,
but when it rains I think he will have to rig some sort of canopy over the front
Bills lost his clip board again

With flush track it is preferred practice on Stoneycombe, (in hind sight)

to keep mortar mix well away from moving parts,

AND thus also allow drainage, so frost damage does not occur

EDIT
Plus also hosepipe is then good for clearing stray grit from points

 

[Granitechops]

But as the runoff goes towards the spoil heap back up occured and pools formed when testing

So remove spoil heap & add drainage

 

[Granitechops]

Leave open channel
with large size stones in base with no sand in it

 

[Granitechops]

Cover over to keep spoil from clogging drain

 

[Granitechops]

top off with more blocks cover with plastic & fill over with spoil, a little then goes a long way

It looks like the Sedum golden Acre has taken, seems lively enough
