Clearing the Line

[3Valve]

Thought I repost this small thread here. Disappieared off for a ten day holiday in September. When I got back my line had become a bit overwhelmed in palces.

 

[3Valve]

So I set the maintenance crews on the task. First they needed to survey the situation.

 

[3Valve]

They surveyed for a long time (In legal circles it's known as careful perusal).

 

[3Valve]

Was too much to do by hand so specialist equpment and more bodies were called in.

 

[3Valve]

Maintenance stock was on standby to take away the debris

 

[3Valve]

Eventually they started to make some progress.

 

[3Valve]

Almost through now.

 

[3Valve]

Finally they broke through

 

[3Valve]

Job well done lads.

Supervisor gets on the blower to let everyone know that the line is now clear.

 

[3Valve]

First train of the day comes through. Maintenance crews stay on location in case of clearance problems.

 

[3Valve]

It's all good, so back to the maintenance depot for chat about the days events before going in for a brew.

 

[3Valve]

supervisor doesn't get brew yet though. He needs to arrange collection of all that debris.

 

[3Valve]

But at least trains are running again

Nice shots, but you think you had problems with leaving the line during a holiday

A couple of years ago now, but this is what's called a persistent weed

Can you still buy those Unimog trucks Gareth ?
(If so, where from, please)

I brought my Motorzone Unimog from Toymaster's.

Dickies also make them....

T Max is also a place to try. In either Dickie or Motorzone boxes. It does seem that there is never a constant supply of the full range available anywhere.

A great story and pictures too

Got mine from Wilkinsons a couple of years ago. They usually get a load of Dickie toys in in just before Xm*s so you may be in luck.

Alternatively as Giz says, Toymasters do em under the Motorzone brand, and I've seen the Unimog Fire Trucks in Mothercare.
