It was decided that with all the longer steam and diesels out
or coming soon that a wider minimum radius was needed. Previous was 10'
diameter. New was planned to be 12-1/2' diameter. It all is except for 1 piece
of 11-1/2' diameter. All track is Aristo-Craft brand. You can see the original
alignment by following the curve of the wall. The new 12-1/2' track is in space
supported by the cinder block. I had to move both walls and all the dirt in
between. Also in this shot in the upper left is the original alignment (where
the streamliners are parked) thru Mill's Cut. Now we've added Mill's By-pass
just to the left of the water tower. This allows for a bigger radius curve and
requires less climb.
