Hello all,
Richard Lomas has shown some pictures of the currect state of the track at Crich on his blog http://tramways.blogspot.com. I tried to do a quick summary of the work done in the past five to seven years, off the top of my head:
- Town End crossover relaid with new rails/points
- Interlaced: frogs replaced
- Curve beyond interlaced replaced
- Bandstand curve: Additional sleepers
- Points at Cliffeside replaced
- Cabin crossing curve relaid
- straight track approaching Wakebridge, Wakebridge itself and curve on extension relaid
- Smith's hole packed, successfully at last
Not bad, is it? That leaves one question: Which still existing rail has seen the longest service at Crich? I would think its the northbound track alongside the depot fan.
Regards
Christoph
