The fibre cement baseboards have been installed and the track secured, the Upper Loop can now be classed "operational", a train was test run around the loop a number of times.
This now completes Stage 4 except for adding scenery, so the next step is to begin planning and construction of Stage 5, the Sugar Mill precinct.
The lower half of the climb has had some scenery added, this will be continued on the upper half when time permits. Details of how it was done are provided in a post under "Scenery Construction".
