Low Level Track Phase Seven / 2010
Replacing the Inner Loop
Now that Pond Junction had been completed this meant all the trains now would run around the new Outer Loop.
We then could take up the inner loop and replace this.
We made a start and had to make a level crossing over both the inner and outer tracks. This is to enable us to get the lawn movers or heavy equipment over the tracks.
Its funny now we are getting near completion that we have more pictures of how we went about it.
