Choices, Choices

Pictures will be coming later but there was much activity during the 'Big' working weekend, the plan was to get ready for the arrival of heavy plant.   During the weekend we were faced with the ongoing debate about gauge supremacy so to end it all an experimental section was laid to determine the feasibility.  So far we have 5", 7 1/4", 10 1/4", 15", 2ft, 2ft 6", 3' and 4 feet 8 1/2".

The head of the PWay team, on looking at the results, was a bit sceptical and when someone mentioned that points might be a bit of a challenge was last seen taking big steps towards the Highwayman for serious refreshment...

Edit:  Here's the idea...



Any more suggestions for gauges to incorporate??

PS Thanks to Tony J for the picture and the idea.  Or did somebody put something stronger in the tea this weekend..

More soon.

  2. Ooh I'd love a Cape Gauge 25NC to com storming round the bend but I fear it might take the bridge with it even after the lowering works have been done! 3 1/2" needs a bit of thought.... possible though and thanks for the suggestion!

  3. I have edited to add the possible scenarios in an image, you probably could think about 3'6 from an outer rail to the furthest rail inside the standard gauge....
