[Leica] R3 Rail Gang part 1

[Douglas Barry]

Interesting stuff. Seem very busy boys with complicated toys, Ric.
I presume they are replacing the rails with continuously welded ones 
like we have here to give a smoother and higher speed journey? Hard to 
make out but you also seem to have sleepers much closer together than we 
have here in broad gauge land - Ireland had has 5' 3" (160cm) as opposed 
to your narrower 4' 8 1/2". Also the dips and gradients over such a 
short distance as shown in No. 13 wouldn't be seen here. Levelling out 
would have been done at the initial stages when the very first tracks 
were laid. Some explanatory notes to each process illustrated would be 
great. Now that you're retired and have plenty of time :-)
