Track

The original track on the route was the 2ft bullhead available from UKTS but it has been decided to upgrade to the flat bottom rails that was actually used on the Lynton & Barnstaple.

Therefore, with the help of Kevin Martin, the track is being replaced with a L&B specific track which will be included with the route. At the same time, an opportunity has been taken to replace both the buffers and the manual switches with something more prototypical to the route.

Here's a couple of photos of the results so far.

The first shows the wooden faced concrete buffer used extensively through the route.



Second shot shows the flat bottomed track, the new ballast and the manual switch.



Still a WIP but I hope they show what we are trying to achieve.
