Rother Valley Railway

I've dug out a couple of pictures of the Bodiam relay. That was November 1998, it may be slightly different this time.



This is the '7' jig that was used, so you dropped down the 4, then reverse a bit, and then drop the other 3.



Because the 360 couldn't lift the whole rail at its mid point, the rail was dropped in in two halves, after half the sleepers were laid out. When all the sleepers were down, the second half of the rail was lifted in.

It may be different this time ! And it was 1998. (The GWSR was mostly laid with a JCB, which had even less reach...)

 

Happy days, Tom! I recall a PMV kitted out as a catering facility, with friendly ladies inside

 

The mind boggles

What more could any red-blooded P/way gang want for?

 

As Ivy in Last of the Summer Wine used to say, firmly, ' This is a catering establishment ' !
