Dyfrdwy Tramway: Between the showers…

May bank holiday, wouldn’t be the same without showers and so despite looking promising when I woke up this morning rain has halted play again…

I ran the Simplex 40S and angle framed Simplex brake van, all the way from the wharf to the quarry. It’s reminded me of a few maintenance jobs that need doing and a few projects I’ve put off for too long, including the lorry, the engine shed, the water tank, the office, the crane… another thing is the quarry, a scene I’ve never been happy with and now the turnout there has broken I wonder if it’s time to consider remodelling that section of the line this summer? 

Still a quarry but perhaps an adit and a higher ‘quarry’ face behind? Even if only a grassy hill, the current foliage is pretty but out of scale. We shall see… until next time, more soon…
