Title: Crossing SG track with NG - Part 2
Post by: Dave Cooper on May 13, 2022, 12:43
As the old thread is now getting a bit tired, I've started this one

The SG permanent way dept. have donated a pair of sleepers to help make the interface with the crossing a better job.

Flangeways have yet to be fettled, and the link up to the quayside will be next. (We've got the builders in next week so, there will now be a short intermission...)

There's been a delay (again !) with the house builders, so I decided to do a bit more on the crossing.

We've now got a rail connection from the crossing to the quayside track. There's some gauge variation and loading clearance issues to sort out yet, but, nothing too serious.

I'm now starting to think about the other side of the crossing which connects to the engine shed, plus, I would like to run a siding down to the SG coal staithes. A single blade DIY point perhaps, we'll see ?

After final gauging, sleepers and ballast on the quayside yet to do. Photos to follow in due course.

A bit more progress on the crossing :-

Still have some re-gauging work to do and a bit more 'sleepering' but, the link up to the quayside now works.

Some extra scenic work needed under the bridge, but I will shortly have Warren Girder type bridge sides to add realism.
