My daft imaginings would be of a I,K, Brunel inspired small tube of his Atmospheric system! Secured to the centre of sleepers, For a very slim ‘pick up arm’, Not…

Infrastructure 6 months agoSo much change in 65 years! My conveyance to the hospital (A DMU) that replaced my M7s, Ivatt 2Mts, The 82 Standards and Riddles 4Mts of my early branchline days, Glides away into the trackside foliage! Its now a Jungle? Its driver gives way to passing Wilder beast and Zebra! (and its only single track now)! So close to where i would oil and…
