“The Secret Life Of” . . . The Railway Navvies!

This model depicts the Secret Life of the Railway Navvies.

We are quick enough to complain when trains are late & take them for granted but we never think of the hard work that went into building the Original Railways. . . Here is my depiction!

The two lines of track are spaced so the latest standard sets of points can be easily added at each end to create or add to a real-life layout (8 studs between sleepers).

The Crane Wagon is fully functional and utilises a string, winch & pulley system. It was hard to design to ensure enough balance weight on the Cranes rear to prevent tipping when carrying large loads.
The model has been tested around corners/points & can be made with real LEGO bricks in the same design & colours.
