A hazardous life being an Equity member. -Or was it the JCB that was the drama queen? ;-)<br />Reply to Paul above, years back, I too found PW work to be very arid in the sunshine- almost like the stone dust would draw all the moisture out of the air along the length of the track. A similar environment to a quarry.Phaaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747852507990028985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-46004433802871601522017-04-09T08:51:21.962+01:002017-04-09T08:51:21.962+01:00What he said!

Like many people, I've waited many years to see the track going back in here. Soon the views captured on film by Mr Clemens of trains travelling along this section in the early 60s will be possible again.

When the sun shines this time of year, the going gets tough. Funny but working on the track in the sun seems to make you exceedingly thirsty. It's not just the dust from the rails or the heat, it's psychological I think. Copious amounts of fluid required anyway. Well done to all of you.

I note that Andy P and his lineside team recently came across a pile of concrete sleepers in the line side undergrowth and also some used as drain covers. I am wondering if these will be recovered by PWay to see if they are good for further use?<br />Regard Paul K.PaulKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499643265058144113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-72317052393574178582017-04-08T20:27:47.644+01:002017-04-08T20:27:47.644+01:00Fantastic progress, this blog is so exciting to re...Fantastic progress, this blog is so exciting to read. I love that top photo of the mess coach. It looks like a model with clean ballast, lightly weathered stock, a static grass embankment and a photographic backscene.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163570497456769017noreply@blogger.com
