Maldon Yard

It didn’t take us too long today to get the straight lengths of the new turnout installed.

We’ve fastened everything up, right to the toe of the points, however we’re yet to fit and spreader bars etc… so for the time being the temporary end of usable track is much as it was previously.

This turnout has been built to a much lesser standard than our usual jobs, mainly due to its main use being only on the straight and we’re also scratching for sleeper plates and pandrol clips for turnouts now, so we’ve done the best we could with what we had available. We’ll beef us the fastenings on the curve when we get to that part.

It’s all starting to come back together now.

Thursday’s crew, should have much better weather. Meeting at Maldon from 8am
