3. 30-October 2021 Cane Farm (Nicko's Farm) Line Construction Begins

 The line is a single out and back loop at one end with a 'Y' point that will move as the trains run through it.

The other end runs into the mill precinct that has a loop as well as sidings where shunting can take place.

The track is Code 250 held in place with cable ties, Code 250 is used to differentiate the line from the mainline which is Code 332.

The track is laid on 225mm wide electrical cable tray, with shade cloth underneath that is covered in 7mm blue metal gravel ballast, either side of the track has artificial turf to simulate the line going through grassed areas.
