HO Scale Trackwork - Ballast and Paint

DR80303 stoneblower is a railway track maintenance machine that automatically lifts and packs the sleepers with small grade ballast, which is blown under the sleepers to level the track. This totally self-contained machine levels track without the need for a large gang of workers. Operated by Network Rail and seen here passing through Derby station. #uktrainspotting #trains #diesellocomotive #britishrailways #railway #railways #trainspotting #railroad #engineering #railwayengineering | Adrian Wa

Track renewal and cleaning in one pass with only one machine 🚧 These maintenance works normally take place in two separate steps. A ballast cleaning machine cleans the ballast, and then a track relaying train renews the track. In the past, two weekend track possessions were often reserved to complete this job. With the RUS 1000 S, we combine two separate tasks, track renewal and ballast bed cleaning, into one machine. #plassertheurer #innovationforyou | Plasser & Theurer
