T.A.C.T. NEWS
This page is the company 'notice board' so to speak, where the latest news from the line is shown! Things like alterations to the 'permanent way', new wagons and van's, new buildings and rebuild's!
Refurbishing Department
It's January 2012 and the stuff that is outside all of the summer is rather worse for wear! Note peeling paint on the sugar syrup barrels above. Look at all of the jobs on the company work bench. Bit cold outside but the shed is fully insulated and painting and working down the garden is not a chore!
Note!
I have added new pages to my web site! Use arrows at the top and bottom of index to scroll up or down!
Above can be seen the finished signal/point control cabin. The cabin is needed as the trains have to back onto the Dodford Fall's bridge to gain access to the company yards! The top picture can be seen the marshalling yard stretching back into the distance. The left picture shows the interior of the cabin with Perce the signal man taking his ease. The right hand picture shows the cabin interior in better detail. The signal arm is wider than normal as accidents HERE are out of the question!! ...(yes, I know the signal looks a bit amateurish but it does the job!) (14/06/2011)
The poor old Porter, all in bits! After a few years of running the locomotive started to slow down and I think the GRS electronics was the problem, maybe 'getting on'? I had to purchase another Brian Jones 'Chimp' electronic controller. Here all the 'bits' needed to do the job, all the switches and other bits needed. Now I have to get.... 'round to it'....Oh dear!!
