To turn a coach on the Turntable at Aviemore takes a considerable shunt to get the engine to propel it onto the turntable and the same shunt in reverse to get it back into the Sheds.
The solution was to extend the Track through the fence partly into the carpark road, so that the engine can pull the coach onto turntable, couple off, draw forward clear, turn coach thus saving considerable time and effort.

Stuart cuts rail to required length, much to everyone's disappointment his trousers weren't held up by the rail hook!
Rails put on sleepers and keyed up.
Bill Johnson puts his back into tightening up the fishplate.
Ballast in filled finished off the days work. Thanks to John Wood for info and photos.
A few weeks later this temporary rail stop was installed as was the gate, still to do is the extended fencing.
