I was rostered as shunter for yesterday's quarry day event at the Rocks By Rail Museum. Since I did my YouTube video on shunting (available here ) I have had some comments from people involved with shunting in some form either directly or indirectly which has been really interesting and thanks to those who have commented. The more I find out about shunting the more admiration I have for those who did it as a full time job.
A sunny start to the day always makes things look good!
Not always possible to see the face shovel from the viewing bank so this is a bit of a rare picture.

After a hard day I was somewhat surprised to see this double decker parked outside the Museum.
It does say Special Rail Service on its destination blind but I and my fellow volunteers have no idea which railway!
