Peckforton Light Railway update

British narrow gauge (esp. Southwold and W&LLR)
Country flag
In addition to the bigger projects already mentioned on the forum ( ie the brewery and sand hoppers), I've managed a few jobs in the great outdoors.

I've reinstated the fencing (ex GRS) behind the platform at Peckforton Station and installed another running in board.

I've also repaired the cast concrete overbridge which got damaged when I was lopping and felling trees around the garden in the Autumn.

As some of you will know, I use our little conservatory as my workshop and struggle for storage space, so I've erected some additional shelving. All I can say is, my wife is extremely tolerant ....

I got away with one shelf, and he gets 3!!!:D:D:D
 
Not sure about them being in full-sun, though, Rik? :think:

Could 'age' adhesives and paintwork?
Could 'cook' (dry-out) the batteries, as well??
:(

I'm tending to store either fairly uv resistant stuff on there at present - eg track, or just temporary storage - eg wagons awaiting repair or coupling refits.

I wouldn't store locos there, even temporarily. I don't fancy cooking li-ion batteries!

Well, mine is grey.. I suppose it depends how 'light' the grey is?
I can't help, I just click the smiley-face and they pop-up.. Could 'pop-up' be the key?? - adblocker / pop-up blocker, perhaps??

The GE (as in GE_rik or Great Eastern) was always a poverty stricken Railway and had to do things for the best value.

Hmmm - that's interesting. I get the edit bar on my laptop but not on my tablet. I wonder why??? :worried: :think:

Different Operating System? Different Browser?
Or just the tablet being 'over protective' perhaps?

Just checked again. If I hit REPLY to include a quote of someone else's post, then the menu is greyed out .....
 
...... I was going to say it's not greyed out otherwise (which it wasn't just now), but now it's greyed out again.

Odd....

Well, for the Forum to work 'better'.. I use Chrome on my Winders 7 laptop. - Internet Exploder, is too slow, and not 'feature-rich' :rolleyes: enough to cope with the Forum very well.. :(
Chrome is supposedly quicker (and I think it is, once fired-up) but takes an age to open and settle, from a double-click..
