It's coming along nicely .. however there's a couple of things on the 
ground that need attention:

Your ties (sleepers) are too slim .. cement ones are about that size, 
but you need to make larger timber ones.

Also, as someone pointed out the other day, the pins don't go through 
the rails. This is because the rails expand and contract based on the 
weather. If they were nailed down as per your drawing, they'd end up 
shearing the pins and/or getting deformed.

Thanks for sharing your progress!
Cheers!
