Museum members constructing a curved left hand
turnout to connect 4 and 5 roads of the Display Site to the Branch Line

The Museum has acquired both a Diamond Crossing
and an Outside Slip for incorporation within the Display Site track layout.
These components as shown above, have been laid out to ensure their correct
alignment, prior to installing the point timbers
The Museum has also acquired a Double Slip for
incorporation in our future display of Per Way components. Again the Double Slip
has been incorporated into the Display Site track layout and the above picture
shows the rails having been laid out in preparation for the reconstruction of
the Double Slip.

These two comparative views, looking due North show the development of the display site, with numerous paired tracks separated by public corridors. The display area is being excavated from left to right, and there are currently over 200 rail vehicles on this site alone. The 2005 view shows the progress in made with assembling 9 and 10 roads as well as the concrete pathways laid between 4 and 5 roads, and 6 and 7 roads, completed for the initial limited public opening. The public entrance and facilities will be constructed in the right foreground, adjacent to the new excavation, which will create 11 and 12 roads and another public corridor.
