LGB II (The Sequel)

[Gizzy]

Train approaches the tunnel near Seduction Junction....

 

[Gizzy]

Passing High Mill Station....

 

[Gizzy]

Onto the down main line at Pip's Junction....

 

[Gizzy]

Approaching the platform next to the scissors crossing....

And now, a special request for Brixham. The previous owner of the Mallet, Bob, liked to see it hauling log wagons.

I have a consist of 5 bogie wagons which can be augmented with a pair of short 2 axle flat wagons when required.

The logs are real wood, branches from a couple of 'Trees of Heaven' which give me an annual supply of suitable timber for the mill....

 

[Gizzy]

For this duty, Mallet runs cab first over the scissors crossing....

 

[Gizzy]

It soon arrives at Seduction Junction....

 

[Gizzy]

Round the curve and into High mill station....

 

[Gizzy]

Angus Crossing has had new barriers installed recently....

 

[Gizzy]

And back to the platform, ready for Mallet to run round....

 

[Gizzy]

Mallet prepares to shunt the log train to the depot having run round the train....

 

[Gizzy]

Train is pushed back towards the depot....

 

[Gizzy]

Steam engines are not allowed to enter the depot, so Mallet is uncoupled here.

(The track in the depot is Bachmann plastic, so if the loco were to enter by mistake, it won't go too far!)

It's day's duty now done....

Nice set of pics Gizzy, at some stage you may in view of your back problems referred to need to think about a high level line. I am so glad that I bit that bullet when I built this line though my previous line in Hemel was nearly all at waist height or higher.

A good day's work there for the Mallet. Thanks for sharing.

Ah yes JD, but you are your own Gardening Authority!

I don't think Mizzy would take kindly to huge earthworks, walls or otherwise in her garden....

Isn't she the blonde dancer on Strictly....
