UP6936 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 there was some work being done on portwest today. the distribution company that owns the siding next to portwest station is planning to install a security fence around their property, and to make way for it, an old boxcar in use as a shed had to go. NIR's help was enlisted and soon 112 arrived with a recovery train to take the van away. she backed her motley collection of wagons into the distribution siding and the crane crews got to work things looked precarious at one point, as the boxcar swung out over the running line! but luckily the crews got everything back in order quickly, and 112 was given the right away to leave portwest and she was snapped powering away from the station on her way to the boxcar's new home as the office of the Portwest Preservation Society ( which you shall recall from a previous post) hope these pictures came out okay, and i hope you enjoyed reading the latest news from portwest!

Hunslet 102 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 It's great to have a story with the pictures,which are nice and crisp,well done.NIR actually had a small crane similar to your model,albeit in a different livery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UP6936 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks for the kind comment Hunslet. there will be more pictures to follow when the fence is installed, and a ballasting job elsewhere in the portwest area might just produce a Baby GM up from IE territory!

UP6936 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) I had bought a new camera and was taking a few shots of the layout, and things got a bit arty I had just found out how to do light trails and got somewhat carried away These shots feature 111 and 112 In this last photo 111s headlights are well visible Edited March 16, 2014 by UP6936 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
