You have got to do a post on ‘stringing a curve’. Done by rail civil engineers who use a ‘piece of string’ (literally) to produce tangental curves, of any radius, in the field. Who needs theodolites. 👍

I highly appreciate your videos here. Hopefully you can expand beyond tracks. Keep up the good work!

[@thepwayengineer]

Thank you, I am glad you find them useful! Is there anything specific you would like me to look into covering outside of track?

[@annthonypantaleon]

Actually I’m also teaching a bit about railways here in the Philippines. If you don’t mind I’m gonna share your videos/channel to my class. If you have topics on operations and about rolling stock as well.

Many thanks for that information about horizontal curve 🌹 Waiting for more like vertical curve and track gradient
