On 7th october 2015 a crew from Haigh Rail welded up 18 joints on the GWSR Laverton extension to Broadway. This clip shows the use of the single use crucible.
A welder held a party at his home for the children on Bonfire night 5 Nov, He "stole" a welders sparkler, lit it whilst in the kitchen. He decided he needed to extinguish it , due to the smoke,,, so he put it in the sink which was full of water, plates , cups and saucers , ,, what happened next?
Interesting to see this a bit closer than normal. 5 years ago I was in the right place at the right time in the city streets of Melbourne, Australia, watching the rebuilding of the tramline in one the busiest city streets. Along the way I stopped to make this video of how Thermite Welding is done here in Australia. See: ruclips.net/video/oiaJi5yFAe8/видео.html
+Jake Butt It will be CWR, except within station limits. Although I am a traditionalist, I have 'jacked and packed' quite a bit, and it is disheartening to see the dips reappear time and time again. CWR will save enormously on maintenance, and other than the sound, the passengers will be largely unaware of how the track is made up. There will also be concrete sleepers, except - I understand, but am not certain - again within station limits.

I am thermit welder
Pinching money job lol
You give it ago I reckon you wouldn't last a six weld shift.
Will it be CWR or 100 foot lengths? it would be a great shame to the sound of the joints completely.
