A quick update with a few shots of the railway in its current form, mainly spending time extracting clay from the pond and sending it to form the roadbed in various places.
 |
| Top loop, the upper pond has once again turned into an Open-cast Mine for the extraction of Portland clay. |
 |
| Showing varying layers of the roadbed, clay forms the base, chalky clay next, then gravel and finally sleepers and track followed by ballast. |
 |
| "Willow Creek Junction", 15" railway on left meets the 5" on the right. |
The roadbed for the triangle is largely there now, going to continue widening the roadbed to at least 1m wide at the top. The upper pond is now twice as big and continues to expand 1 wheel barrow load each time, hard to see in the picture.

 |
| Lower pond, It's become apparent the G gauge track needs to run alongside the 5" track and expand the circle to match it. |
