After completing the main line, there were enough track pieces left over to form a siding near the dam. Another point (right hand) is on order which will eventually be installed where the track runs between the two trees in the background to form a passing loop.

| Temporary hook-up of a 12 V battery and linear actuator for controlling the point. In due course, the battery and solar panel will located in a sunny spot halfway along the passing loop with 12 V power fed to both points via conduits buried in the ballast. |

| The spacing between the parallel straight tracks is 1.5 m. |
 |
| After ballasting and installation of a buffer stop, the siding is complete for now. |
 |
| Some parked wagons to "test" the siding. |
