Here are another couple of images from my layout Blueball Summit, this time featuring a green class 37 on an engineers ballast train. In the picture above, the train has just emerged from the depths of Blueball Tunnel and is seen passing over the viaduct which carries the railway high above the village.  In the second picture below, the engine is seen again a few minutes later after having reversed its train into the refuge or engineers siding near the station at Blueball.  This second picture gives the impression of a busy four track main line, however the two outer tracks are goods loop and sidings.

This picture was taken via Network Rail's unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) while it was surveying the track for any defects.

The Yellow shunter is a creation made in the Farm’s workshop it too is another Gardner Diesel powered device. She is seen on a weed killing train in the yard about to start a day’s work in the fields. Care has to be taken with the chemicals used for weed killing because continued use damages the track itself.

Standing in the shadow of the boiler house, I was able to look out to the main gates.

On-hire from the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway to cover for the absence of the firms usual Andrew Barclay, ex-L&Y 'Pug' 51218 shunts the loading dock at 'A' Shop, Spon Lane, one misty October night in the early 1970's.

 

(Yes, Spon Lane diorama again, but at least a different angle this time.  Need to get around to building a full layout!  And at least the KWVR's Pug being hired out to an industrial customer has some basis in reality from the time.)

The small Ruston 20/28 hp shunter is fitted with a Dorman diesel engine and is one of the few locomotives bought in and not made on the farm. She is seen here waiting for the gas producer to come into the yard before she can make his way out to the fields.

The "gronk" leaves the yard one last time prior to heading back to its home via the ECML.

It’s the end of the day and the Simplex has just spotted a wagon full of items for repair outside the small engine shed. The mechanic looks tired out having spent the day struggling to repair a tractor out in the fields.

The Opel Blitz rail truck is fitted with a Gardner diesel engine powering a generator that in turn powers the traction motors in the leading bogie. She is built on a modified chassis made in the farm workshop, the two bogies give extra braking power as the wagons don’t have brakes.

Early on a fine summer morning our intrepid photographer climbed onto the loco shed roof and took this photo from by the water tank. Plethora of ex-Midland engines being prepared for another busy day.
