Model Forum / General / Railroads / August 2010

Fascinating!  I think it's in Belgium, a couple of the units have the SNCB
logo on their side.  The "Railway Magazine" has recently reported that
Network Rail have been relaying the Settle & Carlisle overnight using a "lay
your own track" machine; probably not dissimilar to the one shown above and
in this month's edition there is a picture of the Airdrie - Bathgate line
being relaid in similar fashion.  (As an aside, the S&C is now nearly all
continuous welded rail and the down line north of Appleby - which was
jointed track two years ago - is now definitely welded).

Hope this helps,
