Long time, not seen

At least some work on the modules. The track around the bridge got ballasted.

Forced to rest

It has been quiet a while due to that I injured my knee real bad but now i manage to move my self to the hobbyroom again...

The manual turnout control from below. It´s possible to throw the turnouts from either side of the module.


In the side of the module.


In the other side

MoW on the run!

The Maintenance of Way Section have done some work with ballasting the track. Still some adjustment to do but now it´s beginning to look like a railroad.

Some more progress

Today it was time for the "bad machine", the homebuilt grassmaster to have some action. First the village side


And the side of the storage shed. It still need some more paint with som texture.


And a wiew along the track.


At the same time the dirt road that crosses the rail on the "South End" got guardrails and a layer of putty. (or is it some local snow)


An owerwiew from south to north of the "Mini-Crawford"


And in the opposite direction.


Still a lot of work to do but now we see the end (?). Hopefully it will go public on http://www.dream-track.se/ in March this year.

Test and trials

Puh!

After some work without pictures are Crawford Junction ready for tests and trials in the garage. The first trial was a short work for the switcher to change the loaded hoppers by the elevator to empty ones.


The NW-2 at the junction with the empty hoppers.


Ready, testing the brakes.


Out again. Here in the almost ready landscape on the south section.


Back in the Valley, pushing the cars.


And coupled to the loaded ones.
*¤#*, sorry end of battery in the camera.
Hopefully it will be more pictures from further testruns in the future.

One, two and three

Here´s some pictures showing the principle of modularity. How it´s possible for Crawford to grow and fit several spaces

One - The small one, with a short track to a freight shed. South and North End(ca 109 cm)


Two - medium size, with a short run around and an additional track to a grain elevator on the Valley(ca 218 cm)


Three - Next step, with the Junction in place but the not yet grown sideways. (ca 330 cm)


Four, five, six... are still in the imagination of the builder.
