An excellent fifth track laying day today. Thanks to a boost in volunteers today, and the availability of a second 360, we were able to lay 5 1/2 track panels, and actually connect with the through road of the loop. The word is that this week we...

NSTR is a possibility, though, if you are unfamiliar with the clunky name, the Mainline (BR/Railtrack/NR) version required a signaller, it is no signaller at each loop, they are remote. Could be easily added to a different signaller (or control...

The starting point (still a chair, but today with an orange jacket on it) is in the distance by the field boundary. [ATTACH] As you can see we were just 5 people today, plus the digger driver.
