The port of Carrachmuir is not so busy at the moment and ships are anchored in the harbour waiting their turn for a cargo to go to the Hebridean Islands or maybe even Glasgow or Belfast.
Two more ships from the Taylor Line have just arrived and have anchored in the bay.
A busy little BR N2 steams into the station as a Y3 shunts along the quay.
More NPCS stock shunting, this time J77 number 68410 is moving a dirty Thompson 63ft BG to Diagram 344. During 1947 three were built on HD bogies for the Flying Scotsman set (#10 - 12). A further seventeen (E13 - E19, E100 - E108 & E110) followed in 1948, built for E.C.M.L. van stock. During 1950 a final fourteen (E141, E144 - E146, E153 - E157, E159 - E163) were built for E.C.M.L. van stock. Several examples survived to carry rail blue.
Thanks Graham. I'm still having a lot of problems with being sleepy, but at least I'm starting to feel some motivation to do things with my digital trainsets again. Still early days yet, but I think if I just muck about and play trains sometimes it might help me to get myself back into things again.
Post #2117 - Its so good to hear you are starting to heal Annie!!! I hope your condition continues to improve! Nice shots of the 8F on the Leadhills Branch by the way...
Camscott just released this fictitious freeware model of a proposed LSWR 0-8-0 by Dugald Drummond. Naturally I had to take it for a test run..
