Most sensible people stayed under cover, and this resulted in a fair bit of work being done on the cab of the Motor Rail petrol loco "Lord Austin". It's been invited for a jolly outing to the Amerton Railway at the end of the month, and there's nothing like a deadline for getting things done. The cab is now built, painted, glazed and fitted with a tin roof sheet. This will keep drivers dry, warm and especially snug. Especially the latter - a jar of vaseline will be made available at all times to aid our stouter drivers in gaining egress from the locomotive.
