The initial plans have been completed and submitted to the Pond Haven city council. <\/p>\n

Phase 1<\/a><\/p>\n

We have been given two restrictions on the design. The first is we have to excavate an area of dirt and create a right-of-way. The second is that we must install a low profile bridge over the lower pond as to not block any views of the area.<\/p>\n

The clearing will be completed by May 10th, 2008. New earth, decomposed granite and ballast will be delivered on that day.<\/p>\n

The first phase calls for 179 feet of LGB brass track.
\nThe track will consist of the following pieces:<\/p>\n

\r\n06 - 10000 - 300mm standard straight\r\n01 - 10320 - L=300mm  bent-rail bumper\r\n12 - 10600 - L=600mm  double straight\r\n12 - 10610 - L=1200mm quad straight\r\n15 - 11000 - R1=600mm curve\r\n03 - 12050 - R1=600mm right elect. turnout\r\n01 - 12150 - R1=600mm left electric turnout\r\n03 - 15000 - R2=780mm curve\r\n02 - 16050 - R3=1195mm elect. right turnout\r\n<\/pre>\n
There will be two bridges on the layout. One is the scale replica of the Delville Bridge that Angie’s dad made. The second is a low profile bridge We will have to build to current city code. <\/p>\n
The construction schedule calls for completion of the first phase by the end of June. We will be working long hours starting in May to meet the construction deadlines. We hope that with the completion of the railway it will link the towns of Pond Haven with Glory falls and open opportunities that did not exist before. The ride along the Glory River is one of the most beautiful parts of this area and is not to be missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
