The Rh.B. (Rhododendron-Bahn)
« on: August 19, 2011, 20:34:43 »
I will show you some pics of the the construction of the railway »Rhododendron-Bahn« (Rhododendron Railway).

Tomorrow we will cut a root (the middle on pic 5) of a linden tree with a chainsaw.

Here I want to build a depot for steam and diesel locomotives with a turntable (90 cm diameter), 8-constant roundhouse, a large water tower, coaling, watering, sanding, purification of steam engines, diesel gas station, goods shed, small switch tower, etc.


Track plan:

The track harp (on the plan right from the rhododendron) for the parking of cars/wagons, even without straight track (in this pic in front), they should be bended of R1 curves

The »monsters« before the endodontic treatment:
the almost vertical root in the middle and the root to its left (this root is dead) should be eliminated
