It has turned decidedly autumnal here in the Dee Valley as the tramway burst into life earlier in the week. The Alan Keef K40 was seen with a short works train to check over the line before possible running at the weekend...
Seen down at the wharf (note the foliage behind is in need of trimming in the next few weeks, and the back wall repairing as a result!), the 3D scenic items like the barrel and tank need bringing in over the winter, and may need a little restoration after a hot summer.
Off up the line, the recent foliage cutting doesn't seem to have damaged the track anywhere which is good news...
...although up at the quarry the bush behind has grown a lot and needs cutting back again. I'm pondering adding some more track work in this area, to allow for more stock to be stationed on the line. There isn't much room for more at the wharf unfortunately.
On the way back down the line, the gates are closed behind the passing train...
...before filling the diesel up with fuel before it's next turn of duty (the small shrub to the left has turned into a wonderful little tree. I've got quite a few projects on the go for the railway over the winter, it will be good fun to see them through to fruition in the coming months. More soon...
