Bug - a loco from the scrap box

[Bram]

Top job there Mel, mind you he would have to be a long legged driver methinks to negotiate that step up to the cockpit

Eh? Think you've got your scale wrong there Bram. The step scales out to about 500mm, about the same as climbing onto a chair. I reckon most quarry drivers would manage that?

It's these bifocals

That is awesome Mel, u r a clever chap! It looks a little like the ones used on WW1? Or am I talking rubbish?

Thanks Mick and Alyn.

The padlock etc. has now been fitted to the toolbox. Hasp and padlock body from plasticard, staple and padlock arm from garden wire.

Due to the heavy snow fall, the quarry is unreachable. So Byg has been re-assigned to providing loco coal skips for Gooey depot. the Binnie skips being emptied of slate and given (full or partial) real coal loads instead.
