Howard and Tony use the engine and John's truck for track maintenance on Wednesdays. For some time now, like four years, there has been a need for an easier way to get this onto the track, but it has not been forthcoming, possibly to be part of the loco storage project. So, an interim solution is now being used, dollies, on loan from Tony, for transporting the truck to/from the track and a ramp, emerging from Howard's workshop, to get the loco to/from the track. This not only helps on Wednesdays but can be used by members at any time and is particularly useful for grandfather/grandson situations. It reduces unnecessary lifting. We hope you like it. | ||

An update on the raised track red guard truck. Returned to my workshop for tidying after recent overhaul - new bogies and bits sprayed, tightening up, lock-nuts etc. There were issues of derailment, not helped by an irregular transition track height where the old interfaces with the new down near signal 5, approaching the bridge, support 74. The Tuesday crew fixed the track problem - thanks. Whilst in the workshop, some mods were done to the truck to help with stability - rear bogie moved backwards etc. The truck was returned to site on Tuesday last and tested out yesterday by the Wednesday crew. We believe it to be good, having tested it at speeds in excess of that expected in normal use. It's back in the shed, ready to use. Just a bit of a prod - perhaps sometimes members will consider the following. Reporting has been poor e.g. "no good" "comes off the track" etc. We need to know when and how the problem happens - in what circumstances did it happen, why do you think it happens. Remember, we are doing our best to fix problems and need reliable and sensible feedback from users. | |
