Here's that unit that was up last week all dirty, but now it's all shiny clean! If it had a face it'd be grinning like that ' really useful engine!'
The Earl Bathurst in all her (his?) glory at the Didcot Railway Museum. I was fortunate to obtain a footplate (cab ride) pass for one of the Earl's runs. BTW, that's the engine driver's wife, aka fireman (firewoman?), taking on water. The Didcot Railway Museum is operated mostly, if not all, by volunteers.
No problemo Carl, "muchas gracias" anyway. However, musn't be common to spot a full mexican train, locomotives and cars, in the US... Dom
Boxcab, sorry bout the delay in responding, have been gone all week working on repairing and 'steeling' some old barns out of town. The Glendive shop has a wash bay in addition to ability to do basic maintenance, traction motor changeouts, main engine or generator swap outs, wheel truing and smoke/performance testing. It seems that about the only thing they don't have room for is overhaul work, so it can be a busy place.
