Squeezing the Rotary Through the Mud Tunnel
| June 15, 2019 03:22PM |
Theoretical predictions said that the rotary would fit thru the modified Mud Tunnel, based on tunnel dimensions and Jerry's figures on the rotary outline. The real test came on Thursday, May 13 when 463 led the rotary thru the tunnel, with 2 inches to spare. I am surprised to see that no other pictures have been posted, so I will submit these.

Uphill progress was delayed by a large flock of sheep crossing the track
Just a few more sheep to go
