Maintenance of Way, Permanent Way (track) and Crunch is the noise heard during a crash....

 

[Jasper]

Thank you

Thank you

Yeah, Maintenance of Way is an American term for track engineering; Permanent Way is an English term for the actual railway tracks.

As part of the railway revival, spent today sorting out some additions of the scenic variety, part of parts I got for Christmas 2024...



...a combination of various tapes and paint on green drums...



...so who is going to be the first to ask?...




...general clutter installed...



...as well as a talking point, well where else would you install a Royal Mail P.O. box on a RhB railway, mind you as I do not have a Gas Works! I have no idea where I am going to install a GWR chocolate machine....



...but also an actual talking point...



...also managed to sort out the roof of one of cheap box vans both inside and out, which got a bit of green misting, when I painted the bridges last year...



...all in all not a bad day until I took my eye off the ball, yep another Station crunch.

As in there is nothing in it, it's contents have been consumed, it's in need of repelenshment, because it is now eMptY.

Some of those drums may benefit from some rust if that would be to your taste. I use the casey jones snr method of some steel with a drop of vinegar, walla overnight rust. These days I tend to use steel wool just scrunched over am splodge of vinegar as that is in house always.

 

[Nodrog1826]

Something to consider, cheers.

As in there is nothing in it, it's contents have been consumed, it's in need of replenishment, because it is now eMptY.

That should be eMpTy, and this was normally written with the M above the T, the top of the T touching the bottom of the M, or one on top of the other

I thought that was a fairly common designation - seen it plenty

That would only have been in the Motor Transport pool

 

[Nodrog1826]

Motor Transport Pools or lack of contents or whatever today I have acted upon my need to run a passenger train, getting things sorted just as the sun was setting.

 

[Nodrog1826]

Six hours of testing today, and only two derailments, one caused by the non patented point return spring, springing loose the other was just one of those things.







al fresco, whoever he is, provided lunch and desert.

Bit of both in the bag and the ham sandwich, but all eventually in, as in comsumed.

Only when a train derails and I have to go and sort it.

At least they're "Smoky Bacon".
