The Ballina branch train being hauled by on loan NIR loco 112 and GSV 3189 Cravens coaches 1523 and 1529-an exact replica of the train which I was fortunate to have worked just over 11 years ago .

Lovely Noel, 112 is a smashing model and the Cravens are one of the best rtr coaches available.

The drooling has started.....:drool:

[Weshty]

Ohh that is just brilliant. A little bit of weathering aand shadowing on that crane and it could look like a photo out of the Times!

Agree absolutely classic. Had the guys off loaded the ballast load first, they might have been able to hire a smaller crane, and save a few bob towards project no 4

 

Love the detail of the foreman looking under the wagon

[Kirley]

Ever the story teller Noel.

[Noel]

Enjoyed your video and the preamble which leads me to the question Noel, are all wagons marshalled so the discharge wheels are on the same side?

It's in a private Facebook group which isn't available to non-members. The likes of YouTube and flickr are better hosting options for video for forums like here

Some rakes were marshalled with half pointing right, half pointing left. Other rakes were all pointed in the same direction.
