Track Plan

The track plan as envisaged in May 2023 detailed the planned construction in 2 stages.  Stage 1 was completed in October 2023.  

A further delivery of track in December 2023 allowed a start to be made on Stage 2 which was completed on 8 February 2024, with the exception of the passing loop near the dam.  

The Stage 2 tracklaying progressed steadily in a clockwise direction from a new turnout near the drive past the gazebo, through trees and garden areas along the south side of the property, past the dam and small pond to the fruit trees.

The left-hand turnout previously located near the garage has been relocated to the northern end of a passing loop near the dam.  Initially, this will be laid as a dead-end siding and a right-hand turnout, presently on order, will be installed at the southern end to complete the passing loop.
