Axle Loading Entry posted by Bryn March 14, 2011 552 views Share More sharing options... Followers 0 Just a quick post to show the track work is progressing.

-missy- 3,834 Posted March 20, 2011 As others have said, that is a fantastic little contraption for checking the track and I will have to give it a go too, although I wonder if it would work with something a little lighter like a coach or similar? M. Link to comment
