Re: New Heidelberg Arrangements (WAS: Ringwood .....)

["Stephen Devenish" <JohnnyR@bigpond.com>]

The new Heidelberg arrangement will keep the up end crossover from the Up
track to the down track but will loose the down track to up track to
siding.  The modified Three throw at the down end will be removed and a 8.7
60kg installed.  The siding will be removed.  All points to be motorised
and interlocking removed.

Hope this clears things up
