A Day Out with the Portable TrackOur portable track gets a few outings over the summer. Last Sunday was such a day, and I took the opportunity to take some photos - it was a good excuse to get out of the heavy work! For some strange reason, when I got home I discovered I'd not taken any photos of anything running? Most of the photos were taken during the setting up of the track: | |
Ready to start, let's get the cover off the trailer. |
OK, the covers are off, let's get started. |
Everything but the track unloaded, now the heavy stuff begins. |
Starting to unload the track sections. |
Unloading Track sections. |
All unloaded, that's supposed to be a straight line!! |
Assembling the track sections. |
Almost there... |
That's a bit nearer to a straight line. |
That's the track laid out. |
Putting up the fence to keep the public back. |
Putting the station together... |
Levelling the track to get the bumps out. |
Is that level? |
Maybe a little more packing under that side? |
Now this here gazebo. If it takes two men one minute to erect it...
|
How long will it take half a dozen? |
I think that's a bit too far, those bits in the middle shouldn't be sticking up yet. |
Have we lost the roof canvas? |
No, it's here somewhere... |
Over she goes! |
There should be some press-studs here somewhere.
|
Have we got them all, now? |
OK, up she goes! |
Now we stretch it out to the full size. |
And there we have a gazebo, or station canopy, or whatever. |
A few finishing touches to the station area. |
Don't forget the advertising material. |
And it's complete. Only took 90 minutes! |
It's all over, shift this gazebo out of the way. |
Dismantling the station. |
Dismantling the track. |
The heavy work - loading the track onto the trailer. |
End of a grand day out. |
