Continued work on the new rail line
« on: April 12, 2010, 12:26:39 »
The start of a underground railway line is being constructed before the rest of the main line can be completed.

This is the very start of the underground line with the first station. An overground station and the rest of the overground line will later be built on top as the underground work is completed.

Overground and the P&M site office:




A mini tractor pulls a machine along the length of the site which levels and grades the soil:




Because there is no vehicular access available to the worksite, machines have to be lowered down by crane and a road roller is far too heavy, so a wacker plate is used. It compacts the earth down ready for the track to be laid:

There is now such a  vast amount of excavation material that the tower crane has to be used to load it into trucks to be taken away:

Get down from there!




I hope you enjoy :)

I know this isn't how they are made in real life but it was easier to do it like this than to try and mine a tunnel through the flower bed :P

You certainly have some great ideas, Damo, and it all looks very realistic and the shots are very well thought out.  I like the detail, you even show the tyre tracks of the dumper truck, and the photo looking up at the crane with the corner of the house in the background could be of a real crane.

Great photos, Damo !!!

Thanks for sharing ...

I wasn't going to ask, but I just couldn't help myself ...  ;D
(Maybe it's because I'm a big Playmobil train collector!)

Will your train actually be able to go through the tunnel when construction is completed?

All the best,
Richard
