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




Thanks, Richard :)

I haven't tried it but I don't think that the train would fit as I hadn't dug the hole deep enough, and with the track on top as well there will probably be big problems :-\

Perhaps, we need to find a "smaller" train ... ...
(I just love :love: my own jokes.) ...  ;D

BTW, Damo ... your photo from the cab of the tower crane is pure creative genius !!!

Thanks again for sharing your construction project. I am really enjoying it!

All the best,
Richard

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

Hi flatcat,

Yes, I've enjoyed these pictures a great deal! I'm not a 'modern' fan, but your setup and pictures are really well done!

And as far as not being able to bore a tunnel under the flower bed: well, some road tunnels are built using what's called 'cut-and-cover,' which looks exactly like what you were doing here, so I think your tunnel is perfectly realistic.

Many thanks again for sharing these fantastic photos,

AndrewL

That really is great Damo - very realistic - just hope you didn't get into trouble for digging up the flowerbed!  ;D

I'm afraid that I can't complete it anymore as plants will be in the way, and I had to fill in what I'd done so that Mum didn't have a go at me when she got home. Although she did get angry at me as I had accedentally left a truck in her kitchen! :-[

Well you won't be the first construction jobbed stopped just as you were picking up steam, but good job on what you were able to get done and the quality of your work!  :wave:
