For those who are familiar with my layout; i am reworking area 1 , hence the dialogue elsewhere on this forum. I have 2 aims; 1) is to raise the track between 8 and 16 cm to allow a new section to be connected to it and 2) i had 15 R1 curves in 20 metres and it needed to be straightened out.But now i have come to beautiful Queensland golden palm, some 5 m high, 4 years old; like many palms it does not have a single trunk but many; so we come to the question of this subject. 1st consideration, under no circumstances do i wish to lose the tree. 2 nd consideration, i wish to damage it as little as possible with consideration 1 in mind. consideration 3 i must straighten the track out.a) If i go in front tof it, the the rail will be clearly visiible all the time and i do not wish this and it will nearly touch another part of the track (this is a reversing loop as well), however damage to the tree will be not worth considering as it is very minor.b) If we go through the tree, the problems with solution a) will be greatly reduced and i will have to have a 220 mm hole bored through a 200 mm concrete block wall. I have already got one of these elsewhere and it looks great. cost me A$143.00c) If i go behind, this will cause the greatest damage to the tree but i will get the track right away from itself and it will hide the track the most, which is desirable. I will have to have two of the above tunnels bored. either 1 or 2 will cost another A$143.00.I have tried to post pictures of the tree but was unsuccessfulRgds Ian
