Chemin de fer Sud de Bretagne

Carl, you did say you paid about 17€ a bag for ballast didn’t you. That’s ok then I wasn’t diddled.

More progress today, walling nearly finished and only about 3 metre’s of track to lay then I think we may have a day of testing.

Aha! Light at the end of the tunnel... er..as long as its not too long!

Mikey

If you get down low enough you can see the light.

That is looking so impressive Peter!

How many metres of track in total ?

Its huge !

Do you have a track plan ?

I think this is it.

Only one meter to go for tomorrow.

Temporary storage sidings, more to follow when I can afford more track

From the storage sidings over the bridge and towards the loop to the main tracks.

Starting small then

The only track plan I have is a free hand one of the original idea, as you can see I am only part way through the master plan, with a few modifications.




The squares are 2 X 2 meters

Great plan.......lots of operational scope there.

Thanks.

If anyone out there has the ability to do a cad drawing or something similar it would be appreciated.

That would be great Brian I will do a new one by hand, with recent modifications and e mail it to you if that's ok. What additional info would you require?

At the moment there are about 110 meters of track down with about another 30 meters to lay.

The final link rail completed today. I need to check the gradient in a few places. The Schoema diesel with 3 small wagons makes it ok. The Zillertal u class is quite good but the Harzquer 2 6 2 struggles lots of wheel slip and assistance needed so probably more weight required.

That's great progress Peter. I'll bet it's a nice feeling to see trains running after all the effort that's gone into the building of it.

Bril!! that must give you a real sense of achievement. I know it did me after the first circuit. well done Peter, it will leap ahead now.

Mikey

Yes! A sort of good feeling on getting things running, but I am waiting some more points from Jeremy so that I can do alternate two way running from the station. Getting to this point only brings to light just how much there is still to do, but ha ho that’s what it’s all about.

Looking great Peter, muti level too.

At least you can now run trains while you are working on the scenary.

Absolutely! It will be a schematic (like the London Underground) not a scale plan, so a hand drawing is fine!

You still haven't told us how many metres of track you've laid, I wait to be daunted!

Brian, fresh from some night time running!

Wake up Brian He said 110 metres with about 30 to go
