More 5" Track..

A quick end of year update, & Happy new year to all.

3x 5"straight & 1x curved 2.5m sections of track is now finished, took a day or two to sort out a couple dodgy welds. The curve was a learning curve. Had to redo it in places but now is derailment free finally. 

The flat wagon now runs again after the wheels rusted up over 5 years in the weather. Nothing CRC & lubrication couldn't fix. A few runs with 80+kg and its free again.





Also showing one of the destinations for the 5" railway,
