Witness the transformation of the top horseshoe curve as we widened the embankment using a rock wall topped with two layers of recycled bricks. The result? A more natural curve that rides better.
Initially considered a reversing triangle in this location, (see last picture), however we opted for the location of the earlier 5" gauge layout that was damaged from the storm. The chosen triangle location allows trains to effortlessly traverse from the main house down to the loop and back again, eliminating the need for complex shunting or turntables.
