It's good to see things progressing, even if it can only be slowly.    :)9

More than the half of work is done, next 500kg of gravel carried from the gravel quarry to my garden, bought several additional concrete plates,....

and the first new tracks can be seen...

Hello Schluss,

are the last curves in LGB-R3 (looks like 4 pieces per 90°)?

I also have bought 16x cheap LGB-R3 curves and put them instead of R1. Nice swing with R3.

Hi,

last weekend I took the chance to install the tracks spontanously for a proof of concept.
Due to the missing power supply only a RC loco has done some rounds across the circuit.

Next steps will be finetuning of the tracks , I need to cut / to saw several tracks and then start to wire all cabling.

Regards
