The first delivery from Mini Train Systems was approx. 150 m of track. This was packed onto 2 large pallets, each approx. 3 m long, and offloaded by a truck-mounted crane.
Mini Train Systems provided this photo of the track prior to shipment. Also packed on the pallets were the point operating lever and a generous quantity of M6 high tensile bolts, nuts and washers.
After unpacking each pallet, the track pieces were transported 4 or 5 at a time on a 4-wheel garden cart pulled by our ride-on lawnmower.
Most of the track was stockpiled undercover, sorted into curves and straights of various lengths, as well as one left-hand turnout (point) and two special "level crossing" sections to go across the driveway.
Despite it being a short winter's day, I couldn't resist setting out the first few sections which form the train storage area along one side of the garage before dark.
