Weather cooled off in Italy this weekend well in the North after 3 months of high temps. Congrats on all the progress this summer. Great Team.

I take it from the 'ciao' that you are going to Italy. Have a good holiday and long to hear from you when you return.

As far as I remember the Laverton loop used one of each (so the headshunt was on the same side of the trackbed as the line south to Toddington). But Broadway north is effectively a cross-over, requiring two right turnouts.<br /><br />John BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-75594798450687392842017-09-02T19:31:30.495+01:002017-09-02T19:31:30.495+01:00Thanks for the excellent blogs enjoy your holidayThanks for the excellent blogs enjoy your holidayFloatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240988184312214977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-69839039408724107812017-09-02T19:19:01.806+01:002017-09-02T19:19:01.806+01:00Great stuff, Jo.
