blog-0650337001334047837.jpgWheal Elizabeth is out and about this coming weekend at Cheltenham. Do come and say hello if you're going..

The modifications to the layout are all but complete, just some point rodding, facing point lock and a lever frame to add.

The slurry loading facility has been relocated, allowing a rake of tanks to be filled, so expect to see the bullet train this weekend.

Also, Wheal Elizabeth has secured the lucrative contract to supply Tulis Russell, the papermakers so expect to see their own private owner PAA hoppers making an appearance too.

Luckily, I was able to snap a few shots of the test train this morning.

Hi Andrew,

Good to see your ideas have worked a treat, I do like that little culvert set into the embankment and the way the slurry loading plant blends in as if it's always been there.

But what of the platform and new bridge to the left of the scene, have you any photos to share showing the current state of play ?

Thanks guys.

Geoff - no I didn't take any photos of the platform - I'll put that right as soon as I can re-charge the camera battery!

Very nice - do like that Private shunter assisting.

 

Look forward to that camera battery being topped-up...
