Blimey, this looks like a lot of work. The workers in the photos are track laying on the Porthmadog end of the Welsh Highland Railway. Apparently Austrian engineers had to be brought in for this as no-one in the UK could build the tramway section of the line being worked on here.
For modellers there are two good points:
First, our track is a whole lot easier to lay.
Second, there will soon for a prototype for running Garratts on a tramway. (Incidentally, I have a hankering to build at least one of the Backwoods kits so if you want one, let me know !) Hooray !
For more on my trip around Wales, go here.
