Paul G Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Brilliant, apart from the fantastic models the tramway it's self photographs really well in the landscape. Really nice work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hilton Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 The line has been quiet due to the global recession, slate demand has massively reduced and output at the quarry has temporarily halted. Maintenance of the tramway, already reduced, is pretty much non-existent but a rock fall on the line needed clearing, so the Simplex took one of the old slate wagons up to the site to aid in clearance... The photographer managed a moment to take a few photos of the stock involved, a rare chance to see the inspection 'saloon' (if so grand a term is deserved) in use, as the manager wanted to see for himself, as well as an excuse for a ride on the line, always a favourite of his... Back at the wharf the stone was unloaded, and can be used for shoring up some of the walls and retaining banks along the line, if or when the quarry reopens. More soon... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Looking forward in seeing some more of the progress within the quarry. It was finding this thread that kick started 7/8ths Scale modeling Such an atmospheric line that makes me want to landscape our garden to inlcude a railway.
