Outback Australia starts reconstruction/ Himalaya Trip continues.
Good evening all,
This week just flew by, and boy is it hot on the West Coast for Winter time, 90Degrees eek!
So I started the redoing and fixing some things on first part of the Merged Route, so far so good, will head south to towards the border of Wadalbavale to Karrah Bay merge point, I need to make some Track connections, and Bridges across the River Etc.
Adjust some of the Terrain heights to match, widen the River where it goes across the merge points.
Back in Himalaya land, we are headed up the hill.
Just chugging along here at 14mph as we leave a wildlife sanctuary.
Below is a Link to the Sanctuary information, this might be a place I would like to visit someday.

We stop here for minute and let our passengers pick some fresh fruit and drink on this very warm and humid day.
We pass some more Quint little houses here.
Trees are getting thicker here, as we get ready to head a long chug up the hill. Our Grade will jump from 1.5% to as high as 9.5% and I think in one spot it was almost 10%........
So lots of work to do, but I intend to work on the Himalaya side one I complete the complete route to top of the mountain. I'm starting to get feel of how this Narrow Gauge works and some of the Pinch points and bottlenecks. I also want to try and smooth out some of the heavy Grades going up where possible.
I think this is it for tonight, thanks for dropping in and I bid you all a good week ahead.
:wave: Night everybody.
