heirflick Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) was there myself and met a few of the mothly crew from the site- enniscorthyman, dart station and ttc. i really enjoyed the chat and the day -short as it was. it was a pity that the deutz shunter G611 derailed early which disrupted proceedings a bit. full credit to the crew who were rerailing her - great to see them in action.she wasnt back on the rails when i left but she was well on the way!

Noel Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 As a matter of interest how do they re-rail light stock like that? Do they clip a chain from buffers to a lift or fork lift or use wooden blocks and jacks? Quote
