As I arrived at the Rocks By rail Museum, there were loco movements going on with Mr. D hauling the brake van and Sentinel loco Graham out of the shed. An usual movement as Graham is in running order or so I thought!
However. as I discovered when making enquiries Graham had no brake shoes fitted as the old ones had been removed to allow new ones to be fitted. Now with any job at the Museum it was not a like for like replacement so new fittings have had to be machined but the new shoes are supposed to have a better braking material meaning that Graham will stop quicker!
Getting those three pieces of rolling stock out of the Exhibition Centre really opens it up for a view not normally seen!
Meanwhile I took my usual job on of vegetational butchery with Sammy Strimmer continuing from where I left off last week so this ....
Turned into this.
Whilst I was at t I also removed this fallen tree from the viewing area.
Which has restored the view!
This obscured sign warning of the overhead power lines was really too obscured!
Thanks to Sammy Strimmer it is at least visible now!
I did find some treasure junk along the way including this operating lever which no one knows what it was for!
Talking of treasure junk, I did look in on the bone yard that I had vegetationally destructed over the Winter.
The problem is that no matter how much vegetation you cut back it grows back so I need to get back in there with Sammty before too long!
