Model: Tricky Track

Modeller: Dr. Paul Dale, St. Lucia, Queensland.

Notes: This model is inspired by an original model created by Dr. Keith Cameron of USA and based on a design by Philip Drew of UK. Tricky Track is a railway layout on which a locomotive negotiates a series of obstructions and booby traps intended to derail it, but overcomes them all! The construction is modular for ease of transportation.

This is the ROLLING BRIDGE section of the track...

... followed by the treacherous PIVOTING BRIDGE.

Paul says that the current version of the model just fits on his dining table, but when he adds new modules it won't. A case for adding modules to the dining table or fitting a cantilever extension to it?...in Meccano of course!
