Wednesday
Down to 3 now and also nobody manning the Broadway Goods shed !
The sun shone on the new base for the station building
Pat whist mowing behind platform 1 discovered a newly dug hole !
Judging by the smell coming from it , looks like a foxes Den has been dug ! Needs a bit more investigation.
Dave and Ian tided up behind the platform after sorting out a drain problem.
Then tried to fix the garden gate , where the bolt didn't meet the latch , reason the post at the bottom had rotted away. Monday job !!
Locomotives on duty today were GWR 9351 and GWR Betton Grange 6880
With the Class 47 D 6948

I thought April 1st had gone this year. That class 47 is actually a class 37. Easily done. I have hit the wrong key on a computer far more times than I would like to admit to!! Great photographs, especially as we didn't have the luxury of watching

Camera turned off for safety reasons !!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an excuse for something - a poor one at that! There's far too much nonsense being explained as 'safety' these days. I had hoped the GWSR had escaped the worst of the cotton wool brigade!
DeleteIt is well known within IT and building circles that "concrete pouring vapour" has a deleterious affect on the electronics in web cam systems. It causes a rapidly transmitted virus particularly in the Chinese components. This virus does, thankfully, coalesce with tin, so Cornwall, West of the Tamar Bridge is quite safe. But St Blazey please use this web cam in short bursts.
