Trying the triangle again, but this time with a firmer foundation. Edging ever closer to the ability to change the climax's direction on a whim. The roadbed remains largely intact, as does the significant tree stump I successfully ignored the first time & prophetically still remains an issue, This time I planned to diligently chip away at it with an axe to remove the issue & allow the roadbed to curve properly but this did not eventuate, 2 additional turnouts have been built & function well. I'm now trying to decide what to tackle next on the railway with consideration given to the bottom horse shoe loop bridge & pond. Time will tell.

| Top turnout largely finished, all turnouts have a temporary length of track running back a few metres letting me change the point while seated on loco. I plan on using aluminium/steel rod & a water hose. |

| From above, still partway through cementing the bricks in place. midway through the turnout build, through traffic can resume in between works |

From below | | Bottom turnout, the climax can climb the steep grade with and adult & child no worries, in dry conditions.. |
