Bergün

To determine the fix points — horizontal and vertical — of the track in Bergün required installing the TREX roadbed in the 180º curve between Bergün and Thusis. Cutting the strips was a quick job, adjusting and equalizing to the exact position took a lot longer. Easy does it to get it right and avoiding later surprises. 

Next came all the roadbed at Bergün.

The realization that further adjustments were necessary dawned quickly.

But temporarily installing the templates for the turnouts at the North end of Bergün had priority.

”The only thing” remaining is building the actual turnouts for both Bergün and Thusis. Typical jobs during the Winter months.
