Great to see the Q-Drivers in use for the first time since about 1997. They don't make 'em like that any more (same applies to the train). 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted October 16, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 16, 2020 Ballasting will be revisited.. I was concerned that the ballast is too "small".. well it is .. and so.. despite the use of a spray of dilute IPA and a bit of fairy liquid in the pva/water mix... It is still quite "dusty " and not as even as I usually manage Further ballasting will now take place tomorrow all being well. Baz 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
