Meanwhile Joop and some employees of the Ferrovie dello Balconia are working on location to measure up Box Hill. The owner of the hill uses it to put down its cups, and does not want to move it or renounce it. Hopefully, Isambard Kingdom Brunel will find a solution to this problem.

A tunnel, maybe? What would the owner think? Somehow, I don't think that'd cause a good impression.

This story is developing wonderfully, Marco.

Thank you.

In between the work, we also work on small jobs. The plastic wheels of two wagons still had to be replaced by metal wheels. Pending the update of the MATRA crane, this repair was done. Then everything is in order before we start working on Box Hill.





In the meantime, our activities also made the news in Germany.

Today Isambard Kingdom Brunel presented his plan. He showed in a grand way that a tunnel must pass through Box Hill. For example, the owner of the hill can leave his cups on top of the hill and the Ferrovie dello Balconia can reach its destination by train. Henriëtta, Henk and Ben look worried: that's a lot of work. Yet everyone is of the opinion that the tunnel and the train track should be built.

More great pics, as usual.

The chief workshop of the Eastern Balcony Railway.....

:lmao:


The Eastern Balcony Railway is the train layout from my nephew. He is driving with live-steam locomotives and I try to make from him a Playmobil fan as well  :)

Meanwhile, the construction of Box Hill tunnel continues. Harry & Henriëtta Gleisbau GmbH use a tunnel shield developed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. This tunnel shield protects workers from collapsing. The final lining of the tunnel wall shall be installed behind the tunnel shield. Luckily Box Hill is not big, and they hope to be ready soon with the digging of the tunnel.
