DIESELS AT PETERSDALE (Part 3)

The station starts to get busy.

: D5085 eases the empties into the station.

: NCB J94 'Peter' comes down the colliery branch. Looks like it's been away for an overhaul and new paint job.

: 'Peter' couples up to a stray internal user wagon that's found it's way into the goods yard.

: 'Peter' heads back to the colliery with the empties.

: D5085 couples up to 3 full ore wagons that have been left in the station.

DIESELS AT PETERSDALE (Part 2)

The working day at the station progresses.

: D5700 brings it's train past the Signal Box and into Platform 1.

: Having run round it's train and picked up 2 empty vans D5700 waits to depart back to the main line junction. 11217 shunts a single Cattle Wagon that D5700 brought up on the rear of it's train.

: Withdrawn J94 68049 waits in the Shed yard to be collected by the local preservation society who are hoping to reopen the Colliery Branch as a Heritage railway after it closes. The engine is in immaculate condition!!!!!!!

: There's a 'foreigner' lurking in the shed yard. D5312 hides behind D5013. Looks like it's been brought in on snowplough duties.

: D5700 has departed for the main line junction and D5085 is bringing in a train of empties up for the colliery. The DPU seems to be having an extended stay in the bay platform. 'Another cup guys?'

Hattons are advertising pre-orders for the Standad 2. They are quoting a delivery date of Q1 2021. I've got a Birthday and Christmas before then so I should be able to afford the £162 price they are quoting. Rails gift tokens please family. I don't think Hattons do them. Prices just seen to keep on ...

I don't really have a long enough runable layout, as yet, but collect wagons toward fixed rakes, so far 1,200 and counting! Is that an addiction too? :lol: P.S. I dare not ever count the number of Loco's I have, as it may scare me! :o If that's what makes you happy my friend then I'm all for it. I'...
