6. Stage 3-July 2020 Lower Loop is now Continuous; Stage 3 is complete

The Lower Loop track has been laid and the loop is now continuous.

A set of points have been installed at the bottom of the Upper Loop so that a line can be run into the "Town/Industrial" area.

A pair of points have been added to allow for the trackwork to run onto the proposed peninsula for the sugar mill.

A Cross Over has been installed that will allow trains to pass between the loop once both are completed.

The first train around the loop was run and no problems were encountered.

Measurements were taken of the new Upper Loop incline which revealed that the incline is no steeper than the one along the side fence.

The pictures below are of the train on both inclines for comparison.
