The long straight

The longest straight section on this railway so far, I wasn't happy with the current righthand turnout thus a left handed turnout which will allow for a nice straight section is to be built. The rear curve has now been realigned and shifted to the new center of the now widened embankment. I've also managed to use the solid tree trunks cut over half a year ago and backfill with clay to make nice straight lines. Worth mentioning the 4 wheeler pictured carried all the logs 1 at a time and then rolled off the wagon & into position.
