Weekly Report No 118, CW 5
From Monday, 27.01.2003 to Sunday, 02.02.2003
Life is bustling in the american part but the visitors don't really dare to enter the site and watch it grow from close-up. This morning (Monday, 3.Feb.) the 1,000,000th guest visited our site. Congratulations to Timo H. and the runners-up on places 2 - 10! And this week? The gorge shows it's shape, the large staging yard will be finished, and the first risers are set up...
Meanwhile, the risers for the flat left part are measured and the heights are drawn in.
Now the 'dangerous' part starts: cutting along the lines...
The gorge...
in the peninsula --
The wire mesh
was 'invited' for test-fitting...
The large staging yard. 8 meters (26 ft.) of track are laid out; already half way through.
Why do just 12 meter (39 ft.) fit into this track? Simple: First, there are turnouts and second: a bit safety distance has to be calculated...
It's amazing what can be made out of plastic flowers... These go into the desert of Arizona.
Will trains from Knuffingen into the mountains be cancelled in the future? The Knuffingen traffic authority stated that the most serious accidents of the Wunderland history happen on this turnout-area.
Two technicians responsible for the area in questions have been fired in the meantime and the chief-technician has been brought to jail at Lake Julius by means of the "Flux-Minimator" (see our forum for details).
