The HARRISON & PEAU~DUNQUE RAILWAY

[kyle creel]

Howdy fellas   ....Thanx LarryC*., and thanx to all the ones that just stopped by for a quick glance...   ....

Nice start indeed....I started the whloe thing off backwards     yes backwards       the orentation in the room is opposite how I need it to be, and to make things a little more convoluted   in this orentation there's 2 turnouts I won't be able to reach without a step stool   ...and I ain't using a step stool to switch a couple of turnouts at 73....I'd probably slip and fall....                

So I did the only thing possible.... I "reoriented" the thing....   (flipped it over) and went on about the business of laying track......I'm almost done......     ...of course this changed the town layout in HARRISON...but I actually think I like it better the way it's turned out, I also gained a spot for the 2-6-2T engine shed in Harrison, instead of having it over in, or near PEAU-DUNQUE Jct....           I've got about 8-10 more feet of track to lay; the main line is all done except for the curve in HARRISON where the whisker tracks to the sector plate connect, the 4' curved section of 2% grade up to the mine, and the reversing section that cuts across the 'oval'; all the cork road bed is laid, so all that's left is to glue down the track ...     .......Doctors appts and other 1:1  stuff kept getting in the way; so I'll hope to have all the track work done by the end of this up coming weekend....     ...

Here's what I've done.........

Starting with HARRISON.........



Future site of PEAU-DUNQUE Jct............(old hand laid rail)


The backside curve around the KAMPHUES' CUT location....(Kamphues is my best friends Marks' last name)


The 'cut off' / reversing section...............


...and the whisker track connections.................


That's it for now; the next post will have a couple of shots of 'downtown Harrison'.....thanx again for all the support and suggestions and ya'll come back now.......see ya..............
