Scorpion Bend - my backyard RR

[TrainNut]

Yesterdays order of business was to get the left hand loop leveled in at a perfect 4% grade. After I had it all perfected, I came to realize that the whole thing was about 4" too tall. Sooo, I dropped the whole thing 4" and re leveled. Why do something once when you can take twice as long by doing it twice?

Todays task was to construct a tunnel. Since this RR's on a pretty tight budget, I had to throw the bricks and mortar idea out the window and use something I had plenty of... 4X4's!
