Turtle Tricks
A bit warm down the Valley this weekend - more suited to eating ice cream than working on railways! Nonetheless, progress was made on several fronts. We are providing a temporary railway for the North Norfolk Railway's World War One event next weekend - called Tracks and Trenches, which is a strangely familiar title. We're providing two locos - the Tin Turtle and and 20hp open tractor - plus a number of wagons. The locos have been extracted, tested and cleaned ready for the voyage East. Meanwhile, work has continued on MR1320 - which is a close cousin of the Turtle. The engine has reached the "gory oily bits stage", allowing a view of the big ends, mains and camshaft not seen for many, many years.
