    You’re not wrong! Say 70 miles and a good number of loops and sidings.

    Ah, that makes a bit more sense ...

    I take it you have source / supplies for ballast and sleepers ?

    Don't use Jarrah under oak trees [the tannin in the autumn leaf mulch encourages rot]
    The recycled plastic ones can soften and then distort under uneven thermal conditions and loading ...

    Sleepers are planned to be resawn ex FS, we have plenty lined up.

    Don't ever mention Tupperware for engineering applications. I'm the one that got landed with sorting out the K series plastic throttle body fiasco after everyone ran away once the problems started.

    The route and building works are under a local government feasibility study as part of the long distance cycle path. Our bit is the additional work for the railway.
