His might interest anyone laying track, showing how it was done in the 1940s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PZtZ0cCJU8&list=UUUqSz8Wd9Uhwh1N1T8UUiZg&index=3&feature=plcp Enjoy Jerry |

A few subtle clues suggest more like the summer of 1956. That said I can remember doing surveys for pre-fab relaying in much the same way as late as the mid 1980's. |

I spent a Sunday in 1983 leaning out of my signal box window watching pretty much the same - except they dug down about 6ft to lay a plastic sheet (some sort of waterproof membrane?). From the engineers train emerging from the down sidings to unload the 360' diggers to it going back again was 13 hrs (we used to let the early turn have an extra hour in bed!), and we did single line working on the Up too. It was very impressive to watch the organisation and skills making it all work. The kettle had a hard shift that day! | ||

Great, thanks, I wonder how many modellers consider not placing track joints over bridges? Cheers |
