The Woodlock Line

Tis a lovely thing but as mentioned by me before a strange choice having few seats. I found it lurking in the sidings at Wernigerode Westerntor on the Steam Railway trip in 2010.

I'm going to think of it as a locomotive, as it actually hauled coaches and light mixed trains in it's day.

 

[PhilP]

Will it clear the hole in the fence, or will it need to stay within the confines of the garden?

Mr. Fence, meet Mr. Chainsaw!

Yes best plan.

 

[Henri]

It is a superb model.

It does clear the hole in the fence after some light surgery. Happy once again. Nothing worse than a new toy that can't be used without risk of damages

Presumably to the fence! Be nice to see a couple of pics at the fence hole.

First he has to put up a new fence after the "light surgery"

Some pictures for your perusal....

Oh thanks, sorry I meant with the new big lump passing through!

Ahhhhh. Here we are then.

Ah yes, I see why you had to maim the fence. Handsome lump on the track, though.

Tatty switcher on the tripper. Possibly on it's last legs....

Stripped / cracked gears ?

 

[Greg Elmassian]

I'm curious also, since USAT always has parts.

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

It's just become juddery and sounds rough. It was a second hand purchase and hasn't been quite right since I got it. Gears look ok, and plenty of grease. Just don't think its long for this world. And half the hand rails are missing.

Wheels, surely?

 

[Sean.]

when was the last time you gave the wheels a good cleaning ?

When I replaced the skates a few weeks ago. Think its just old age.
