2. Stage 3-June 2020 Framework Build Started

The framework for Stage 3 build has been started.
The front posts were trimmed down to the lower level height but the rear ones were left longer so that the risers for the loop that will go back up can be mounted to them.
These will be trimmed later.

The white string shows the path the second loop will follow to get back up to where it started all those months ago.

The Helix/Spiral track contemplated earlier is not required because when measurements were taken of the whole track length vs the rise and calculations made, the grade is between 3 and 3.5% which will not be a problem for the locos.

I will finish the lower loop track laying first so I can run a train continuously while I relax before building the second loop and contemplate where I will put the industry sidings and buildings later.
