Tuesday Moving Track Panels

Ian & Dave slinging the first few panels from alongside Marley Hill curve .....
..... to be moved alongside Marley Hill loop
The panels are being moved to free space for work on MH curve
& to provide better sight lines & access

Other work continues - including Colin mowing around the welcome hut

Another stack being removed from the curve - which will facilitate the possibility
of running passenger trains into Marley Hill station in our tercentenary year, 2025

The crane moving panels into Marley Hill platform road
Dave slinging the last panel from this stack - which has been here since replacement
of our main line at Causey East Incline / Bowes Bridge, 10 or more years ago
The last panel is added to the first stack
Another panel being lifted ......
.....& steered onto the waggons
The flat bottom panels are intact and serviceable, although less than main line quality
We've used similar panels in both carriage sheds, the 5 road shed & woodwork shop
