The next section of track consists of a couple more curvy turnouts. As seen in the legend above these two turnouts lead into the lower part of the yard. At this location a traveling crane was used to transfer freight from railcars onto trucks.
Here it is in context…

Tim…. you my friend are either a genius or a complete lunatic… or some combination of the above. Simply beautiful work as usual. I will be watching your progress and hope it will be open to public viewing somewhere in the future.
Tim,
Did you make this trackwork using only your assembly forms and point/frog tools, or were there some additional methods you used to form these turnouts and crossings. The graphics are great but could you elaborate a little about how you actually made some of these. Thanks.
