Hi All
I went for my 1st proper day at the Wensleydale Railway, and if its ok with everyone I would like to share what a awesome day I had.
1st we had to shunt some carriages off the platform and around the yard and I got to sit in the Class 3 while it was shunting around the yard – awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No clutch or smooth take up of any power anything which I found out when I was thrown from the stool, as it lurched forward - a lot of fun!!
We then had to replace the roof of a class 25, which took up the most part of the afternoon. And of course for the elf and safety Jobsworths a risk assessment was taken, and it was found to be very risky if the wind picked up.
The Class 47 that is there, the one in the picture “Poseidon” and there is another one there – I cant remember what it is I think they are fantastic – its such a shame they have to be kept outside.
In a couple of months I’m going to be starting my Crossing Keepers course, but I cant wait for some more maintenance activities, I liked it so much last Saturday – I’m going back again next Saturday.
I’m a bit worried about posting some pictures (in the link below) encase some Elf and Safety Exec stirs up some trouble or something so I might take them off – what do you guys think?
