Project Progress
{percent}% complete.
Progress on our new raised track project is going well. We've got a lot of work remaining to complete the railway, but hopefully, we should have the railway open to the public in 2011.

The Raised Track Project
Our second railway is now taking shape at Pettypool
In the early part of 2009, a small group of members from our society showed an interest in building a new railway at our Pettypool site. The railway would be of a raised track construction, would compliment our existing railway and allow easier operation of smaller locomotives. After months of planning, a route was surveyed and mapped out. It all looked do-able and so the project was started.
Just like our ground level railway, the new track would be dual gauge, but catering only for 5" and 3½". Construction would be kept simple, using concrete blocks and welded rail section.
Unlike our existing ground level track, passengers on the new track will sit-a-stride of the running lines, providing more stability when riding on the smaller gauge railway line.
Project Milestones
Below, we've listed a few milestones of the project so far. You can chart the progress of our new railway in pictures, by visiting the raised track section in the gallery.
